Dear Ih Cheng:

There are large numbers of TLUDs available with chimneys that work great
indoors (if venting emissions out doors).  I just returned from Puerto
Rico's Southeast coast distributing donated SilverFire Hunter stoves
(chimney TLUD), that numerous cooks that loss homes and belongings to
Hurricane Maria (*winds to 282 KMH*).  These folks were delighted due to
lack of smoke.  The only other option was to spend $300 USD per month for
gas that they did not have.  Free biomass was available everywhere after
Irma, Jose, & Maria.  Stove burning in all photos below.  In addition to
loosing roofs & belongings, 2 meters of seawater ran through both bottom
properties.





​Regards,  Todd Albi SilverFire
