To all Stovers,

I highly recommend that you watch Rebecca's video (10 minutes).   It is:
1.  Very well made, fast paced, with nice music, and very informative.

2.  CAUTION:  It will make you hungry!!   Many views of delicious food 
that was prepared with the Eco-Kalan and Bingka Oven.

3.  Rebecca's introductory comments (printed below) in this message are 
not in the video, but will help you understand what is being shown.

4.  I am also absolutely thrilled by the addition of TLUD heat sources 
under the Bingka Oven!!! The TLUDs are in two sizes, and are made of 
clay/ceramic!!  And they can be removed from under the Bingka Oven (as 
should be the case), so any appropriate sized TLUD could be inserted.  I 
request that Rebecca tell us more about the making of clay TLUDs and the 
issues of cracking/breaking,  how hot the sides became, and about the 
weight (because they need to be picked up and moved for refilling / 
replacement.

5.  There are some views at the beginning showing the making of the 
oven.   A VERY NICE PRODUCT!!!!   I am sure that Jon and Flip can relate 
to the work it takes to make ovens.   I hope Rebecca will direct us to 
more information specifically about making of the oven.

To Rebecca, CONGRATULATIONS on your very evident success!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul
