[Stoves] Down with Fantasy-draft stoves

[alex english]

Kirk,
Looses flame =just smoke. It goes out. Kinda suggests that its working as a
system.  There is a descending planar pyrolysis front creeping down into
the fresh cool air that sinks to the bottom of the pail. There isn't much
driving the secondary mixing so flames are lazy and longish. If you start
from scratch the pieces might be optimized. They should all be tapered for
nested shipping. I like the idea that some of the components might have
utility between meal preparations. If the nested cones include
configurations for say three different power levels then perhaps you have a
multi burner stove in a pail. A Russian Doll stove concept.
