[Stoves] NGO is looking for a stove update in production process

[Paul Anderson]

Dear Deniz,

You have asked the correct group for advice.   There are several options 
that you could consider.

I will advocate that you consider a very small TLUD (tee-lud) 
micro-gasifier, and I will assist you if you desire that type of heat 
source.

Please see my website   www.drtlud.com   for the basics about the 
technology, but very little about units that are as small as you will 
desire (but I can assist you about the very small ones.)

HOWEVER, these stoves do NOT use charcoal.   (actually they make 
charcoal, but that is a different side of the story).   Charcoal is 
notoriously slow to ignite, which is one of your requirements.

I assume that you have already considered using a candle (or a few 
candles).   The very small TLUD micro-gasifiers can provide the amount 
of heat you need.   They are very clean burning even at cookstove sizes, 
so the tiny TLUD that you need COULD probably be used indoors (depends 
on room size and ventilation issues).

Looking forward to assisting you.   You may reply via the Stoves 
Listserv because some readers are interested in such topics, but 
eventually for detailled work we would use my personal email address 
which is     psanders at ilstu.edu
