[Stoves] side fed = gassification , no se

[Richard Stanley]

Crispin,
Na shikuru mzee, sindiyo, na kubali, 
Wiith the  briquettes in a simple side fed rock stove , such as developed by Rok Oblak and replicated widely, I think we are pretty close! Same seems to be the case for more recent testing here in mess America with their front fed plancha stoves whether the ONIL or Stove Team variety, or more recently Malcom Gribble's design in Antigua

Man, Richard, that is a nice looking flame.

> Kobus Venter, John Davies and I also tried to diffuse the gassified flame on Kobus' then emerging gassier stove, (~2004/5), by replicating a normal LP gas burner top. We simply cut off end of a tin can (sides were about 1" high--enough to just fit into the stove top) . We added a series of ?" dia  holes not on the top but on all round the  side wall  tin can.   

If you have that attached to a downdraft or side-draft combustor you may have been able to maintain it indefinitely. We gotsta' think along those lines to reach Nirvana.

PS Where is Kobus anyway? eThwekini?
