[Stoves] burning rice husk

[CHRISTA ROTH]

The best rice-husk burning stoves I know of are the ones based on the  
tremendous work of Alexis Belonio. Paul Olivier' s work in Vietnam has  
taken rice-husk burning stoves in the household-size range to another  
level, uncomparable with natural-draft stoves like the Mayon Turbo,  
LoTrau or whichever. Paul has generously shared a lot of his work on  
this list in the last days, so you can look more details up from the  
links provided there or consult the section on rice-husk burning  
gasifiers, pages 43-48 of  the manual microgasification http://www.gtz.de/de/dokumente/giz2011-en-micro-gasification.pdf 
,
it contains all I found as per last year. If anybody knows of models  
that are not included there, please let me know, so that they can be  
included in the next update.
regards
christa
