[Stoves] "Stealth fires" and Wendelbo and TLUD history

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Friends

This is very clear as to date:

"I began my serious work with stoves back in Norway in 1988 before my next employment started. I began utilizing the fire technology I learned during the war .‎"

Interestingly, there was already established by Nov 2007 in Kampala a food cooking stove which was a TLUD burning vertically stacked bound bundles of reeds‎ in a cylindrical ombustion chamber. The commercial fuel supply chain was developed as well, not just a prototype prototype. 

The stove was mostly being used as a restaurant (commercial) cooking system. The charge of fuel was packed into the metal cylinder standing vertically and top-lit. It had secondary air ‎provided above the fuel. 

While I understand and appreciate the work Paal did, it is also fair to mention this predecessor technology and to search for those who developed it and the story of the non-woody fuel preparation‎. There is a great deal of biomass around Kampala in the form of reeds and bullrushes which served as the fuel source. 

Given that this system has all the elements of a 'modern' TLUD cooking stove I think it deserves a mention in the stove wiki, with a note asking people to locate additional information and perhaps a working sample.
