[Stoves] Migration Pyrolytic Front (MPF)

[Ronal W. Larson]

Martin:

	I don't think many English speakers would think of "front" as linear (1D) or volumetric (3D);  only/mainly as 2D.  This is the definition that Yahoo gives for "front" as a noun:

noun
1.
the side or part of an object that presents itself to view or that is normally seen or used first; the most forward part of something:
"a page at the front of the book had been torn out"
