[Stoves] Mis-information

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Gordon

The World Stove works very well. When it was discussed here some years ago, I mentioned that it appeared to be a new type of stove. I agree that how it works is not obvious, however I can assure you it does and that many thousands of them have been sold.

There are elements of the design missing from that drawing.

A significant aspect of the design is that it can be refueled cleanly while running, separating it from most TLUD’s, at least until there is a significant accumulation of ash at the bottom.

Regards
Crispin

Is this the downdraft stove concept being discussed? (From the World Stove website)

In this depiction, I do not understand how the feedstock that is below the “gas” holes would ever pyrolyze, whether updraft of downdraft, since no air would be passing through it.


Good find Gordon, I had heard Nat talking over the table about this but never seen a schematic, I'm tending toward being sceptical.
