[Stoves] Moderated Message

[Todd Albi]

Why would you reply?  You are correct, there is a hierarchy of biofuels and
stoves designs that all exhibit different outcomes according to different
types of fuel burned.  That is before humidity, elevation,
atmospheric pressure, temperature, and other variables impacting combustion
variables are factored.  Your suspicions are correct.  Of course, generally
speaking, uniform, kiln-dried uniform fuel is going to outperform found
biomass and a forced fan stove is going to outperform most natural draft
stoves.  I guess in summary most everything presented on this site is apple
to orange and why stove combustion is always associated with a black
science moniker before we even discuss the cook or operator of the stove.

The same analogy could be made with most things, first Spring green tea
cuttings are higher quality and preferred to the following cyclic annual
cuttings.  There are different grades and cuts of beef (prime, select,
etc...) before you discuss how it was raised, preparation, handling, and
method of cooking.  There are better cooks than others. On and on...  In
summary, it is a short life and we have a lot of variables to juggle on
this convoluted path.
