Dear Gus,

 

Beautiful stove!

 

I was wondering .

 

- What are the legs for? 

 

- Isn't the stove too high? It takes two strong men who will stretch their
arms in order to put the tall pot inside the tall skirt. I wonder if it is
possible to do so with a full pot of (boiling) water.

 

- Without the skirt and the legs it is not that high, easier to cook on and
to move the pot. Do cooks use the skirt all the time, or do they remove it
for conveniency? Do you have data about the added efficiency of the skirt? I
think the stove world lacks data on the added value of skirts, especially if
they need to be that tall.

 

- The combustion chamber is not very tall. How can it be still efficient in
burning/removing the gases and making a proper hot flame?

 

- Is the stove quick to cook? Do the cooks sometimes complain about the size
of the feed chamber or is it fine for them.


- What is the material inside the combustion chamber? Does it resist well
the fire? How long is the (expected or proven) life expectancy?

 

Sorry for the interrogatory, but the video made me very curious!

 

Thanks a lot in advance,

 

Xavier
