[Stoves] TLUD Syngas Flame and the Red-Hot Chimney in a Kerosene Heater.

[Julien Winter]

Dear Prof. Lloyd;

Thanks  for your description on how a kerosene heater works.  I knew
someone would pitch-in with an explanation.

I had in mind some the principle you describe: a hot metal column,
preheating secondary air to assist the combustion in natural draft TLUD.  I
don't imagine that the column would be as large and elaborate at a kerosene
heater, because of cost, and because we want a stove, not a space heater.

Do you know what the chimneys are made of?  Are they just stainless steel
or some special alloy?

In the end, I think that what Jock is doing with gas wicks and washers will
be a better solution than perforated metal rings.

It would be nice to get rid of those black-bottomed pots ND-TLUDs seem to
create.

Cheers,
Julien.
