Paal, Dean,
...and burns free fuel, if I understand your point.
While we're imagining. Lets image a $200 dollar stove that heats a room
or rooms, with pellets, even when the power is out, and helps rural
folks, especially the elderly, stay in their homes. Lets imagine that
the profits, or a portion, go towards the greater stove needs elsewhere.
Poor is relative, and I'll make no comparisons, but cord wood, oil,
propane, electricity, are inappropriate or to costly for a growing
number of people in 'rich' countries.
Imagine, these two related goals; better, cleaner stoves, 'north and
south', temperate and tropical, could be linked.
Probably just a dream....
