[Stoves] Four quandrant stove matrix

[Jonathan P Gill]

Stovers,

I think stoves can be organized into one of four quadrants.

Top two quadrants are Pyrolytic.  Bottom two quadrants are Combustion.

Upper left and lower left are "yellow flame" units.

Top right and Bottom right are "Blue flame" units.

Of course this leaves other dimensions out, but ...

The point is that people in the so called 1st world do NOT cook over yellow flames.  So why should we expect less economically advantage people would want to use yellow flame units?  Yellow flame units can too easily be seen as not good enough for the 1st world.  Thus they could perhaps appear to be cast offs and rightly resented?

I have to admit that this is a new way for me to look at this.  Like Art Donnelly, I resisted using fans in my iCans.  Now, like Art, I see that fans could allow for some great advantages. Brother Hugh has been trying to get me to use fans for a long time.  So hats off to brother Hugh as well as to Prof. Bolinio and Paul Olivier, who has created some very interesting extensions to the Bolinio stove from 2005.

I hope to have some news about fan powered iCans in the next few weeks. They will be somewhat different and may lead to some localization for North American markets.

Regards,

Jock
