[Stoves] Hazards for Institutional Biomass Cooking Stoves

[CHRISTA ROTH]

Lanny, have you had a look at the safety protocol suggested by Nathan Johnson? It is available on the legacy website of PCIA on the bottom of the page http://www.pciaonline.org/testing. It actually operationalizes most of the issues you are raising.

> Hot surfaces that can cause burns
> Cook space air pollution
> Tip over
> Bump spill not steady footing
> Hot handles
> Over fire run away fire, out of control fire (batch burners)
> Hot coals spill out, roll out or puff out igniting combustibles.
> Flame containment, not enough distance to combustibles.
> Hot stove surfaces, not enough distance to combustibles.
> Structural integrity, falls apart, burns up, door fails, legs breaks off
> Sharp edges that can cut or scrape
> Sparks out the exhaust that could ignite combustibles
> Volume of fuel in a batch could be a factor. example 12 kg of wood in a wood space heater verses 1 kg of wood in a cook stove. 12 kg has the potential to do more harm than 1 kg.
> Pot spill from difficult access. Like lifting a pot from a sunken pot stove.
