[Stoves] "Those of us who believe that the WBT is critical to stove improvement"

[Frank Shields]

Tom,

I am thinking the solution is setting up a program much like the 
successful program the US Composting Council (USCC) has set up. Seed 
money is first needed.

1) A University or organization is set up to certify labs They 
round-robin labs 12 biomass samples a year for testing. They send out 
several different types of stoves for testing.

2) Labs pay to get into and fund the certification program.

3) Customers send the labs their stoves for testing and pay the labs for 
the tests. Results can be tabled to a list along with other stoves and 
their test results for marketing.

4) Regulators, NGO and other purchasers of stoves -require- any stove 
they purchase to be certified.

and around the circle the money goes....

Now we have a list of labs that use standard procedures and have proven 
they can test stoves.

Compost program keeps going because there is always new compost needing 
testing. With stoves I'm thinking there are always new fuels, different 
stoves intended to burn them, and tasks to be done.

Regards
