[Stoves] Energy content cow dung

[CHRISTA ROTH]

Alex, you have a good memory! the chap was Klas Heising from GIZ Bolivia, and yes, they did try TLUDs at 4,0000 m above sea level, apparently with success. not sure if with Alpacca dung, but I know that eucalyptus seed worked very well. 

Klas is copied in, he is  now in Germany, but I hope he will find time to give a better explanation of what they did and how they got it to work. I remember having seen a higher riser to create more draft.
regards Christa

They lived above the tree line, high and dry. There were about a dozen of us at the table including Paul, Christa and the Biolite folks. Anybody know if they tried.
