[Stoves] "Char-MAKING stoves" Re: Stove Conf in Poland this month

[Paul Anderson]

Crispin and all,

You had many goo comments in your discussion of Nikhel's email. But you 
also wrote:

My comments are only about

> itself.
Maybe you meant to say    ... as if Africa needs char BURNING stoves to 
save itself.      -------- That would be true.   Charcoal burning stoves 
are disastorous to Africa, Hait, and many other places.

But you wrote ..... charr-MAKING stoves .......      Which can only mean 
TLUD stoves.          Well,there is certainly no "near fanatical 
devociton" to char-making stoves.      There is near fanatical devotion 
to the STANDARD and traditional ways of making char, that is, the ways 
that do not use the heat, but just waste the energy.

But that is not the case of the TLUD stoves that are :char-MAKING".

Please clarify your comments.
