[Stoves] ***SPAM*** Re: ***SPAM*** Re: [Biochar] gasifiers

Yes Paul is subscribed and can post directly to [stoves] and the only
reason I forwarded his answer to you in text is that the listbot
trapped his post for being oversized and I could not quickly figure
out how to shrink the accompanying photos small enough to pass the
1500kbyte limit.

Paul seems to answer the question by saying "uniform" fuels are required

My guess is that he has found a way to produce this stove at about half the cost one could anywhere else - including China .  Because he is a perfectionist.

>> A few years ago, I would have placed an order.  I still might, but now it would be for family members - because of my own change in residence status.  So I am asking the above questions mostly for others on these two lists, with hopes you can reply to us all with more of a sales pitch - especially emphasizing the biochar side of this.

>> Again, thanks in advance for the note below, and congratulations for this new stage of having a s5ove to sell.
