[Stoves] The upside of Down feed

[rongretlarson at comcast.net]

Alex and list: 

My interest is in the first several lines , which read: 



Crispin: "This is interesting news. The grate looks great, and if there is a pile of char that is maintained in front, we must conspire to burn it." 


Alex: "Not so fast. I rather like the idea of a naturally formed biochar venturi:) " 


RWL: I have totally missed the possibility of a char output in your design. I can't even see a Venturi possibility.. Can you explain a bit more on how that can be accomplished? Have you accomplished any char preservation yet? 

Thanks. Ron

Not so fast. I rather like the idea of a naturally formed biochar venturi:)
