[Stoves] Lanny Henson's School Lunch Cooker #2

[Paul Anderson]

Lanny, and all Stovers,

Excellent presentation of an fine contribution to address the issues of 
institutional-size cookers.

Institutional stoves are one of the focal topics at this year's 
Aprovecho Stove Camp, under the leadership of Fred Colgan and his 
InStove team.   This video will for sure be included in the content for 
all participants to see and discuss.   The video gives numbers and shows 
alternatives and will raise questions for discussions.

I ask Mike and Dean at Aprovecho to please forward this message to all 
who have registered for the Stove Camp (because some might not be 
subscribed to the Stoves Listserv).

Many questions and comments, but just 2 here:

1.  Comment:  40 quarts are essentially 40 liters.  InStove has 60 liter 
and 100 liter products.  There are also 200 liter and larger 
institutional stoves.  How we as Stove designers address these size 
issues will be a great discussion at Stove Camp (and on the Stove Listserv.)

2.  Question/request:  Lanny, please provide more info about how your 
design does not have primary air entering below and therefore does not 
have a grate (if I understood correctly from the video).   And how is 
the created charcoal removed?

To all:   THIS type of stove design and testing content is what the 
Stoves Listserv is truly about.

Paul     (Still in Uganda, so slightly out of time, but I will be at 
Stove Camp with additional institutional stove content.)
