Dear Jock
There are two user-centric goals you could add:
That it cooks well, and long enough to be an acceptable alternative to other cooking solutions.
That it is safe and convenient to use.
I have a design suggestion to help with the ignition:
Suppose the central disk could be rotated 90 degrees? It could be made vertical until the gas can support a flame. Then turn it horizontal so there is no need to separately ignite the gas. You do have a flame already, you just need to get it above the disk.
Regards
Crispin

Subject: [Stoves] The goals of my TLUD work
Here are the basic goals I have for my TLUD development work:
1. Achieve as long a period of blue flames as possible;
2. Look like a gas stove burner - aspirational;
3. Be very low cost so teachers can afford to make it;
4. Get pyrolysis and Biochar into schools;
5. Use the heat from the burning gases as completely as possible;
6. As few and as simple parts as possible;
7. Easy and safe construction with simple tools;
8. No metal cutting or sharp edges;
9. Best run time with the maximum yield of high quality charcoal;
10. A clean process that has minimal negative impacts;
11. Support Drawdown, Regenerative Agriculture, and The Circular Economy;
12. An attractive package that invites use.
Biomass, Thermal energy and Carbon are too valuable to waste.
What did I miss? Of course others will have different sets of goals. How much overlap will there be?
Thanks,
Jock
