[Stoves] flames touching pot

Alex: 



   Your video showed a flame that I thought might be on the verge of going out.  



    Can you give a turn-down ratio?  



   Are you quite happy with this "double chimney" (which seems to add a lot of height)? 


  What is the CO ratio in this video - and how good have you achieved?

We've been here before.... 

The blue ones tend to be well oxygenated (mixed)or even too high in 
"excess air" from an efficiency point of view. I expect there are some 
additional interesting  details for ag residues when it comes to 
chemical species and flame colour. 

I have been able to get an all blue flame with wood pellets in a TLUD 
using my double chimney set up. It focuses the pryolysis gasses into a 2 
inch diameter chimney and then adds "secondary" air (probably at least 
100% excess) to premix just before it widens to 4-6 inches and burns, 
blue. They haven't been the lowest CO/CO2 flames I've tested. 

  Hard to get a good picture, except at night.
