[Stoves] Stove Camp 2016!!!

[Mike Hatfield]

*Stove Camp August 15 - 19, 2016*

*Aprovecho Research Center*

*Cottage Grove, Oregon*

·        As always, Stove Camp will give folks a chance to test stoves with
the two emissions hoods.

·        Two classes per day include how to make 5 new ‘Tier 4’ stoves
developed with DOE funding.

·        Learn from Kirk Harris and Dr. TLUD how to make a new generation
of super clean TLUDs with turn down!

·        See PM 2.5 lowered 75% with inexpensive filters!

A $250 prize is awarded to the team that makes the most progress, proven by
testing here in the lab, on the creation of a $10 ‘Tier 4’ stove.

Food will be purchased and prepared by the campers (to keep costs as low as
possible) on TLUDs, forced draft stoves, retained heat cookers, beautiful
new ovens, Rocket stoves, charcoal stove, etc. There will be lots of music,
great conversation, contemplative walks in the new Lazy Path Garden,
watching the moon and stars, and swimming in the river 300 yards from the
lab.

The cost is $400 for the week. Camp on site (free) or stay in town in a
motel.

Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that
you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented
dazzlement of surprise     -Lewis Thomas

The known is finite, the unknown infinite, intellectually we stand on an
islet in the mist of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability.  Our business
in every generation is to reclaim a little more land   - T. H. Huxley
