[Stoves] Going back to 3-Stone Fire [Was Re: China and cookstoves]

[Xavier Brandao]

Hello Frank,

 

Ahah, there is indeed a pattern, you might have noticed it is usually the following:

1.  Someone, usually Ron or a member of the GACC, EPA, Aprovecho, D-Lab or Winrock, innocently drops « WBT is a great protocol to make stove improvements » or « you know, there are many supporters of the WBT », somewhere in a post, a handbook or a toolkit

2.  Then, some of us howls in indignation, especially me. I start to rant and sound like a broken record. Then I hand over, once again, the pile of evidence, and ask some very simple straightforward questions.

3.  Suddenly the one in 1. very kindly tells me, in a « ho-it-would-be-so-great-to-have-you-there » fashion, to:

a.  Join the ISO-TC 285 discussions

b.  Join a certain conference in the United States

c.  Or becomes suddenly completely mute

Often it is a., b. then c.

4.  Then a few months pass by, and one beautiful day, we are back to step 1.

 

At this point it’s not a rabbit hole, it’s more like a rabbit loop, a rabbit loophole.


Best,

 

Xavier

Dear Nikhil, Stovers,

 

Always great news when we start a new year talking WBT. That because it means we are not still down some rabbit hole someone has sent us to wallow around for a few years on some useless idea only to come to the surface and find us where we started (NOWHERE). But now starting at NOWHERE we must be careful we are not diverted down another rabbit hole. Make sure all project proposals involve the 6-Box system or parts of it. That involves both Field and Lab work. Because that is the only way we get control over the variables and move forward. A lot of work needs be done.

 

Regards

Frank Shields
