[Stoves] Declaration about Woodgas

[Todd Albi]

Paul:

Nice rough draft template, but your ACCS section at the bottom appears to
be Paul's endorsement of Champion stoves, exclusive of cleaner burning
natural draft or fan stoves that produce little, if any meaningful char.

Large scale bio-char producers and operations likely would scoff at the
idea of small household stoves producing meaningful volumes of market ready
bio-char production.   Small household stoves more likely best targeted for
personal gardening consumption.

My 2 cents.

Regards

Todd Albi, SilverFire
