We (Masonry Heater Association) will be fielding a testing team at this
event, together with Brookhaven National Laboratory. I am particularly
looking forward to getting the Condar on this beast, to see what its "EPA
number" is ;-) ........Norbert

If all goes as planned, Maine Energy System's (MESys) ?koFEN Pellematic
e-max will power all the testing equipment, lights, computers and audio
equipment for this year's Wood Stove Design Challenge. Having recently hit
the market in Europe, the Pellematic e-max produces up to 4,000 watts of
electricity.
