Martin and Steve these are interesting looking heaters, does it mention 
whether they forced air, the downdraught section certainly looks like it 
has a high velocity. I'm familiar with the batch loaded Kunzel and Kob 
gasifier boilers but these are orced air and in the case of the kunzel 
the primary compartment is presurrised and so cannot be opened in use.

I'm also surprised that the glass can stay clear in the primary combustion 
chamber, one would have expected those lazy flames would be quite tarry.
