[Stoves] Wendlelbo's : Re Large TLUD --- TLUD Stove history

[Paul S. Anderson]

Paal,

Interesting that you started with the very large size first, in 1986.   
Please fill in more info:

1.  When did you develop the concept of the concentrator lid/top/disk?  
  Was it part of the earliest 200 liter incinerators?

(It took me four years 2001 to 2005 to get to that point of having  
concentrator lids on the TLUDs.  Those stoves only got that TLUD name  
in 2005, and were first named "Top-Lit UpDraft" in 2004 in the  
Anderson-Reed document at the LAMNET conference - found at the Stoves  
website).  From 1985 to 2005 Reed called the technology IDD, for    
Inverted DownDraft.)

2.  Before 1986, you were elsewhere in Africa doing development work, right?

And you were doing stoves as a major side/personal effort in those  
earliest years, right?

Were those earliest stove efforts with smaller stoves, and of what type?
