[Stoves] TChar stoves can make and use charcoal was Re: A wisdom of Rebecca's stove

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Paul A

 

Open fires can make and use char. This is not something new or unusual. What
is unusual is a stove that makes a lot of char that cannot burn it. It is
unusual enough that is has the like of me and Jim scrambling around to find
ways to properly report their performance. 


>2.  There are several documents about the TChar concept and implementation.
see     www.drtlud.com/tag/TChar <http://www.drtlud.com/tag/TChar> 

As mentioned long ago, a Vesto will also make and burn char and change from
one mode to another automatically using a paper wafer. The Anglo Supra Nova
(which is a new stove) can also do it with pellets (didn't try wood chips).

 

All it takes is air control and a combustion chamber that is relatively tall
compared with the diameter.

 

Regards

Crispin
