[Stoves] MY BIODIESEL STOVE PROJECT

[David Wanjagi]

Thanks James

I really like your suggestion on diverting my research on the biodiesel
stove to using that of plant oil or cooking
oil. I have looked at the link you gave and saw the Aristo stoves which
looks very ok. My question is, could that
same stove use the biodiesel fuel? Since the biodiesel am using is made
from cooking oil?

And my reason for using biodiesel is because of the availability of it here
in Kenya therefore am working
from the fuel to the stove i.e. I first have the fuel now I need to utilise
my fuel in cooking.

Crispin, could you please give us a lot more information to support your
thought on biodiesel burning a lot more
easier?
