[Stoves] Stoves Digest, Vol 5, Issue 3

Dear Andrew Schofield,

Many many thanks for the excellent video links provided by you.

I hope this solves the problem of getting chopped wood material as fuel for 
TLUD stoves.

Many times we find people are lazy to chop the wood material ( even when 
they are available free of cost ) for TLUD stoves - and they prefer easier 
options like LPG stoves, kerosene stoves, etc. This also affects the 
marketing of  TLUD stoves.

Best Regards,


Rajan
