Dear Stovers,

I do not know how to convert thermal efficiency into fuel savings figures.

I hope it Is a linear transformation.     10% TE wastes 90% of fuel, 
while 40% TE wastes only 60%?    But I suspect it is more complicated 
than that.

I hope we hear soon from the number-crunchers and quantitative testers 
of stoves.    Theory and real numbers are welcome.

Paul
