[Stoves] [biochar] Used Tractors ...biochar on homestead

[Paul Anderson]

Ed,

Thanks for your valuable comments about TLUD usage.   I hope others 
reply with more TLUD stories, so I have added the Stoves Listserv to 
receive this message and yours below.

You added a fan to the other units.   Please consider fan assistance in 
the TLUD indoors.   And perhaps an exhaust fan in the hood for those 
moment of changing the TLUD / refilling.    And if you allow for using 
prepared pellets as fuels, I think you might be able to use it indoors 
WITH a hood or with a chimney on the stove body.    We are looking for 
solutions for bringing TLUDs indoors with chimneys.

Where are you located?   Climate / weather certainly can impact usage.   
And please tell more about TLUD usage outdoors.

Paul
