[Stoves] MY BIODIESEL STOVE PROJECT

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Jim

Biodiesel (or bioparaffin) is a lot easier to burn cleanly than vegetable oil. 

There are many practical reasons for making the fuel behave like standard 'paraffins' (CxHy) molecules.

I have a different perspective I suggest you should consider.  Why go to all
the trouble and expense to burn biodiesel when you can 1) use the seeds as
Paul Anderson suggests or 2)use the oil without further processing into
biodiesel.

I believe you can find stove designs that will burn straight vegetable oil. 

Of course this assumes that vegetable oil is cheaper than biodiesel and the
climate is warm enough that the higher viscosity of vegetable oil (compared
to Biodiesel) is not a problem.  

I am sure there are several oil stove designs on the
www.stoves.bioenergylists.org site.  Here is the first one I ran across.

These stoves look more complicated to build than the TLUD Paul Anderson is
suggesting which would burn jatropha and other oil seeds.

I know you are set on designing a biodiesel stove.  But you made that
decision without research.  Now that you have done some further research,
you should reconsider you premise.
