[Stoves] Three products from the Chinese Stove Expo

[Crispin Pembert-Pigott]

Dear Friends

These are three products made by the same company covering a range of needs.

The left one is a natural draft stove with a chimney as the source of draft.
It is a TLUD gasifier if filled with pellets, otherwise a gasifier. I expect
it would make charcoal if pellets were used, based on the internal
appearance.

The middle one is the same unit (ignore the thing on top) with a
controllable fan.

The right hand one is a side feeding natural draft combustor (details of the
combustion type were not examined) with a purpose-built water heater with an
external fixed skirt. The hopes at the top are the exit for the water
bowser. It is very likely to have a high thermal efficiency which I will
report on in future as it has been submitted to the Indonesian CSI (Clean
Stove Initiative) for testing in both categories (cooking and water
heating).

All three are really well made by a company that normally manufactures much
larger and more complex stoves burning solid fuels.

This is an indication that larger manufacturers are starting to enter the
small stoves market more vigorously.

Regards
Crispin
