[Stoves] Planning for ETHOS and Open House at Aprovecho Following ETHOS

[Paul Anderson]

Dear all,

When you are making your plans for ETHOS, be sure to consider extending 
to include some days at Aprovecho for a free Open House that has some 
great advantages for stove testing and development.   Dean's message 
(below) gives some key details.

Highly likely to attend or be around include Christa Roth, Dale 
Andreatta, Alexis Belonio, Paul Anderson, Ted Redelmeier, Tom Reed, Kirk 
Harris, Art Donnelly, several of the Aprovecho crew, Fred Colgan / In 
Stove, and maybe Ron Larson.   That would be about a dozen highly likely.

I have heard of some others that could attend, but I will not name 
them.   But we can HOPE that someone(s) from EPA and GACC and Burn 
Design and Colorado State Univ. and Iowa State Univ. and I hope Flip and 
Jon Anderson.

If you are traveling far to get to ETHOS, you should seriously consider 
staying the extra days for the Aprovecho Open House. And if you have 
never been to Aprovecho, you really should be there in these special 
days.  Two days at ETHOS is not sufficient for the tasks at hand.

At Aprovecho we will be testing under the hoods several stoves that will 
be seen at ETHOS but will not have been tested by then.

Of special interest will be the testing of several RICE HUSK TLUD 
gasifier stoves.   These stoves all have fans and are already known to 
be among the candidates for exceptionally clean emissions.   Rice husks 
are already ordered for the event.

I am confident that at ETHOS we will finalize for everyone to be able to 
get transportation to Aprovecho during Monday 27 January.   And because 
th Open House ends at noon on Friday, some transport back to Seattle is 
likely (not guaranteed, because I cannot say that except for Alexis 
Belonio) on Friday.

Info for local arrangements in Cottage Grove area are with Mike Hatfield 
(see his contact info below).    And we all thank Aprovecho for 
extending the invitation of the Open House.

I will assist at the Open House when ever possible.   But I will be in 
Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania until 20 January with limited time to assist 
before ETHOS event and the Open  House.

Spread the word.   I hope to see you at these important stove events.    
And may 2014 be a great year for our stove projects!!!

Paul
