[Stoves] TLUDs at ETHOS Re: Jatropha fruit as fuel? - and possible action

[Paul Anderson]

Dean,

I look forward to hearing your results.   Let's hope that your session 
does not get scheduled for the same time as mine.   But such problems 
happen.

We can discuss options on having camps.   Sounds interesting.   Be sure 
to bring some numbers about the costs and all that stuff.

Looking ahead in 2013, there will probably be another Gasifier/Biochar 
stove camp in Tennessee (dates not yet even discussed), but not at NESFI 
in MA this summer because the large North American Biochar Conference 
will be in that area in October.

See you in Seattle.

Paul
