[Stoves] Kerosene lanstove

[nari phaltan]

Thanks Crispin for your kind comments. The cylinder jacket is insulated and
hence most of the heat goes to the cooker. The heat transfer is pretty good
and boiling water efficiency of 40-45% attests to it. The flue gases exit at
the top of the cooker around 110 degrees Celsius.

 Cheers. Anil
