[Stoves] Gasifier stove camp in Australia starts 30 April

[Paul S. Anderson]

Dear Stovers,

Gasifier stoves are relatively small scale devices for heat production  
and with optional biochar output.  They are featured at the 5-day  
workshop near Byron Bay, Australia on 30 April - 4 May.  This event is  
part of the efforts by the Biomass Energy Foundation (BEF) to  
disseminate gasifier stove technologies around the world, especially  
the TLUD pyrolytic cookstoves.

This is very much a hands-on event to put into practice what Drs.  
McLaughlin and Anderson will be presenting there.  Feel free to  
contact either of us (psanders at ilstu.edu), or contact the host of the  
event, Dr. Paul Taylor, in Australia at        potaylor at bigpond.com

The first two days will be a rather structured combination of teaching  
and hands
on making and using biochar devices.  Participants will learn about  
principles and practices, including issues of Natural Draft (ND) and  
Fan Assisted (FA) devices.  The last 3 days will see small groups  
choosing either cookstoves or larger scale exemplary biochar maker  
projects at manageable sizes, and
getting down to create the results we want.

A flyer about the workshop/camp that also explains the "early bird"  
discounted registration that ends 17 April is found at:

Notes:
1)  If you print it, be aware that the A4 paper size of the original  
might make the bottom line not be printed (or use "fit to page" option).

2)  Australian dollars are virtually equal now to US dollars.

This is also a great reason to start some vacation time in wonderful  
Australia, and maybe visit New Zealand on the way in or out.

We hope that you can attend.

Paul
