[Stoves] ASABE article on REAP's Improved Cookstove Program

[reb-kees]

Hello Crispin, 
I would like to have those grate photos.  I will be back working on design improvements to the eco-kalan when I get to the Philippines January 6. 
Thanks, 
Rebecca Vermeer

Dear Roger 

  

What a good portrayal of the two stoves. It is immediately noticeable that the pots used in the larger families are huge. We face the same situation for Sumba Island where people boil 20 litres of water at a time. The pots are enormous. 

  

The Noflay Stove looks strong. I can suggest from the experience we have been having with the Keren Stove tilted grate that it would benefit the stove to add as an option a removable grate that is higher at the back and low at the front, with primary air admitted to the space underneath from behind. Given the stove’s apparent power, I suggest the opening be 60 x 40 mm with no restrictions. The grate bar spacing is important – about 5mm, maybe a little less (4mm). The result of doing so is very little charcoal, if any, and a pretty clean burn because of a higher temperature. 

  

I have a couple of photos of the grate that was successful in the Keren stove if you want one. 

  

Regards 

Crispin
