[Stoves] Hi TLUDers -- and EPA testing questions

[Paul S. Anderson]

Dear Dean and all,

I know of at least 5 TLUDs, each from a separate PCIA Partner, that  
have been proposed for testing by Jim Jetter for this third round.

The Aprovecho offer of a free tune up under the emissions hood is  
nice.  Is that offer matched by Zamorano in Honduras or CREEC in  
Uganda or any other place with PEMS equipment?

Question:  Does a person need to go to Oregon, or could the stove be  
sent with instructions?  Cottage Grove is only convenient and  
inexpensive for those who live within a hundred miles!!

And does Aprovecho have the SAME fuels as what Jim will be using?   By  
the way, what are the acceptable fuels now at the EPA testing?

Another question is how is the WBT used by the EPA different from  
which version of the other WBT's?  I would like a short summary, not  
just a reference to multi-page documents where the methods are written  
but the differences are not pointed out.

BTW, what TLUDs have been tested previously???

   ??? With fans:  Oorja (yes) and Reed Campstove (??) and BioLyte  
(??) and Belonio (??) others?

   ??? And natural draft:  Peko Pe (?) and experimental unit from  
StoveTec (yes) and what else?

Paul
