[Stoves] Excess air

Dear Frank

I think Philip was talking about the calculations we do. His point was that
if we know how to calculate it properly, why would we do something else?

Dear Philip,

So if the big stovers can use such a measure, why can't we?

Great question.

1)    Because little stoves change conditions in seconds

2)    Because little stoves change conditions per centimeters

3)    Because the Start and Cool-down are larger variables for little stoves
when the run time is as short as cooking a small meal. 

Where do we put our detectors for taking measurements and how quickly can we
control (adjust) the variables (primary and secondary air) for making
corrections. Working on that is the goal as I see it. 

Thanks

Frank

Kind regards

Philip
