[Stoves] Blue Flame -- Natural Draft -- Rice Husk

[Erin Rasmussen]

Hey that's exciting.  I've seen blue flame with wood pellets on occasion,
but only on the edges of my stick built fires. 

 

Nice work Marc!

Hi everyone,

 

I've managed to repeat blue flames consistently in a rice husk stove using
only natural draft.

 

Anyone seen this before? I am only aware of forced air stoves that achieve
blue flames.

 

The photo below is just a teaser. The lighting is terrible and you can't
make out the column of blue flame because I'm shooting straight down.

 

The smell is also quite motivating. Usually you get acquainted with the
"smell of defeat" with rice husk, since poor combustion smells quite strong.
So far, achieving odor on par with forced air units.

 

More soon...

This will be part of a completely Open Source project
