[Stoves] Terminology TLUD - PeFiBe-burning-mode

[Boll, Martin Dr.]

Dears, 

Paul (Dr. TLUD), Paal, Andrew and all,

 

            Some days ago Andrew made us look to the rocket-stove as a type
of stove, which is derived from three-stone fire; e.g. the rocket-stove is
only fed from one side.

Andrew, I didn't answer yet to that. I like this generalizing angle of view!
It gave me new aspects to see stoves.

 

Paal, as I am interpreting you right, you see TLUD  as a typical manner of
burning.

 

Paul, you are without doubt Dr. TLUD! You have the merits for that (mostly
in batch-load-mode running) stoves. And without your concentrated direction
to and work on that TLUD-stoves, the stoves-community was certainly not so
successful focussed to that, even myself. And I find, it is a good
direction.

So I am thinking for a long time about TLUD and TLUDs.

Since long time In my mind I see the stone-age ancestors sitting near their
Fire-TV looking their interesting and exciting program. Playing along with
that, they certainly once pushed a stick under the glowing charcoal. That
TV-program was possibly the first through fire-bed burning, and possibly
most exciting for our ancestor, because it made a flame without nasty smoke.
And I am sure he re-made this with intention. Possibly they called it
smoke-free-fire in their language.

Naturally he did not start his fire as top-lit, because he would not have
succeeded. But he had a "through-fire-bed-burning", or more scientific
sounding a _per-fire-bed-burning_.

And as English-speakers like to make a word out of abbreviations I would
propose to call that: PeFiBe- burning.

In my opinion this contains that the essential foundation,  what we expect
by a TLUD.

 

But there are other interesting PeFiBe-stoves, you all know; mainly
different in the grade of deflection of the vertical direction;

even I know an interesting stove run in sky to earth direction (forgive this
expression, it is only to de-connect from top and bottom of the fire)

 

I propose: let the TLUD-stove be a TLUD-stove. But let us speak about
PiFiBe-burning, or let us find another new term expressing this
burning-type, that all those interesting stoves are conform in.

 

We don't want to fight about words, but to have fun together with good
performing stoves.

 

-A lonely log doesn't like to burn-

 

Regards

Martin
