[Stoves] ETHOS registration and abstract submission now officially launched!

Tue Dec 1 19:42:51 CST 2015

Stovers and all,

In addition to the ETHOS meeting, you might consider going to the Open 
House at Aprovecho on the Tues through Thursday 3 - 5 February.   (with 
the Monday to do the 5-hour drive from Seattle to Cottage Grove, 
Oregon.   I have not seen the official invitation from Dean / Aprovecho, 
but Dean assured me it would happen again in 2016.

My current plans are to be at both ETHOS and Aprovecho Open House. So if 
some others plan to attend and IF we get ourselves organized, we can 
utilize the days for some serious biochar-stove activities. In terms of 
stoves, I hope that we can see, operate, test and discuss several 
serious contenders, some not previously seen (new since last January).   
These could include:

1.  Mimi Moto (TLUD-FA) (Netherlands.   I will bring one if MM leaders 
are not attending.  Has Tier 4 ratings.)
2.  FAABulous  (TLUD-FA)(South Africa.)
3.  Rice husk gasifier (TLUD-FA) (Vietnam or from my garage)
4.  Units now in production from what Aprovecho introduced last January. 
(Some TLUD, other types also)
5.  TChar on top of one or more charcoal stoves that are in mass 
production.  (TLUD-ND)
6.  Latest experimental units / combustors, etc by Kirk Harris. (TLUD-ND)
7.  Char-making stoves ala Art's Estufa Finca design (TLUD-ND)

8.  New products that are charcoal stoves and Rocket stoves and others.

If that seems like a lot of TLUD types, you are right.   They are coming 
on strongly.

So, if we want to be organized (at least a little), we need to be 
discussing what could or should be done.  There is always the question 
of ground transportation of those who are flying in.   In the past rides 
have been coordinated rather nicely, but with some uncertainties, 
especially for those who do not indicate their need for transport from 
Seattle to Aprovecho and back to the airport. Do not be shy about 
talking about your transportation needs.
