[Stoves] Platform forc burner development

[Alex English]

Crispin,
Roughly 5.5 kg/hr of premium wood pellets, with no clinker.  The goal is 
to rescale the device for wood chips to be fed by the live wall bin. 
Small but not to small. I want to come up with a practical minimum 
diameter for the chips we have. After that we'll see about burn rates.
