[Stoves] Very small stoves and reheating food

Dear Frank

 

>And I have some charcoal that will ignite paper below 100c. Must be
something we can add or way to make it to light easier. 

 

I see a problem with that. Charcoal already is a fire risk on its own -
lotsa chemicals in there actually. It should not be too easily lit unless it
is time to do so. There is nothing needed except a chimney to get it heated
enough to get the volatiles going. The volatiles light the carbon. That
gives it time to get the char going, which if kept in a confined area will
continue burning without volatile support (i.e. a carbon fire).

 

Regards

Crispin
