Stovers,

A new friend Ih Cheng sent me a message that included this comment and link:

It is a very interesting stove with an informative video (amost 18 
minutes, but worth the time to watch it all).   The combustion processes 
are the creation of PWG (pyrolytic woodgas) with CCC (close coupled 
combustion (as are the TLUD stoves), but done from the side.  The video 
clearly shows the charcoal production (revealing that the char could be 
removed and saved -- of interest to the biochar listserv 
subscribers---), but the demonstration then burns the char inside the 
stove.

It appears that the "limiting of primary air from above" is to have 
control to restrict the exiting of the pyrolytic woodgas (PWG), causing 
the PWG that is restrained in the fuel chamber to limit the amount of 
new primary air that can enter.  As I said, very interesting.

The stove has some complexities (including moving parts), and is not yet 
into a production mode.  But it should not be ignored. Further 
information and contact is via the website at fyro-stove.de  and emai 
to    info at fyro-stove.de       I hope that they will join the Stove 
Listserv (if not already subscribed.)
