Hello Stoves;
Jeremy Warfluft was certainly doing some interesting research in 1984. One
of the stoves mentioned in his document was the Z-stove, developed by the
Hottenroths. They hold a number of very interesting patents:
Hottenroth, FW Sr.; Jacoby, HD. 1966. Forced Draft Solid Carbon Fuel
Burning Cooker US Patent 3,279,452
Hottenroth, FW Sr.; Hottenroth, FW Jr.. 1975. Portable forced draft solid
fuel burning cooker. US Patent 3,868,943
Hottenroth, FW Sr.; Hottenroth, FW Jr.. 1976. Portable forced draft
cooker. US Patent 3,982,522 A
Hottenroth, FW Sr.; Hottenroth, FW Jr.. 1984. Compact stove for emergency
and other uses. US Patent 4,471,751
Hottenroth, FW Sr.; Hottenroth, FW Jr.. 1988. Biomass Stove. US Patent
4,730,597
Hottenroth, FW Sr.; Hottenroth, FW Jr.. 1991. Portable Stove. US Patent
5,024,208
Some of their stoves look like modern TLUDs, although I suspect that they
didn't have top-lit operation in mind, but where thinking of burning chunky
fuel with large pore-spaces, which would produce a fire at many levels down
to the grate.
The Z-stove in Warfluft's document was probably an earlier version of the
Hottenroths'1988 patent, http://www.google.com/patents/US4730597
Their 1966 patent looks strikingly like a flattened version of a modern
forced draft TLUD: http://www.google.com/patents/US3279452
Has anyone ever heard of, or see a "Z-stove"?
Cheers,
Julien.
