[Stoves] Biomass-- self propelled

[Paul Anderson]

Richard,

Great progress.   Congratulations.

Are the briquette being made (or could be made with you system there) in 
"small chunky" sizes that would be appropriate for a TLUD stove?

And at nearly 3000 meters elevation, what are their stove types? 
Specifically, do the stoves have chimneys?    One or two pot, or a 
plancha?    And how many hours are they kept ignited each day? Provide 
photos if possible, please.

Paul
