[Stoves] Very small stoves and reheating food

[Richard Stanley]

Right Crispin,  Paul & Alex, 

Dribble feeder eh : Would like to see it too. 

Then perhaps we need look no further than at a  bird feeder-- a chicken feeder and all kinds of other on demand feeders for pets. Our own sociopathic cat has a cat feeder too,  which when low, she  reminds us of-- at any hour of the day. 
From Lenny Hansen, several years ago, the point was made that one would have to seal that feed tube from any incoming air, to minimise the risk of back burn up the feed tube.

Dear Paul
 
Not too fast there… that is what is exciting about Alex English’s dribble feeder (I am calling it because that is what it is doing). He is successful so far with wood chips, pellets and by extension, any small fuel like nut shells, coffee hulls etc.
 
I am going to have a gander in November. It is the first small gravity feeder that I have seen work well. There is no reason it won’t work with rice hull if we get a bit clever.
 
You fan (geddit)

It is the words "feed ... continuously" fuel that is a problem.   The pellet stoves (heaters) are acceptable and successful because the continuous feeding of fuel is automated.   No such luxury with inexpensive stoves for economically poor people.
