[Stoves] Jatropha oil lamp query

[Bjarne Laustsen]

Hey James

I have tried to to make a Jatropha oil lamp.
At that time I found that back in time before the electrical bulp was in 
use, People used oil lamp. Likely the best of these lamps was based on 
the lamp developed by Argand.
I build one lamp based on his principle and it worked well, however I 
stopped working on it as I got concerned on the issues of health effects 
from gasses from the toxic elements in the Jatropha seeds.

Yours
