[Stoves] Invitation to join off-list dialog on a different type of TLUD

[Ronal Larson]

List:

	I have been thinking for about a week on how to make a “better” TLUD.  I have a scheme in mind that has these features:

		-  should be able to take over a larger percentage of cooking and heating tasks than presently available commercial TLUD models.    (for one, more than one cooking port)
		- should be lower cost than the usual TLUDs - by virtue of local manufacture and assembly	(following work of Kevin McLean)
		- would separate the chimney from the pyrolysis chamber (taller, and some horizontal flow paths - also reported by Kevin)
		- would emphasize annual costs and income - not first costs (an investment - not a cost)
		- is amenable to biochar use of more produced char (my primary motivation)
		- more ideas not listed here - all assuming open source use by anyone;  no patents intended.

	Anyone want to be part of this off-list, few-week dialog?  (Trying to avoid mis-statements;  I have not yet finished a draft that is already too long). 

	 Replies requested off-list.
