<font color="#333399"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Thanks Crispin for your kind comments. The cylinder jacket is insulated and hence most of the heat goes to the cooker. The heat transfer is pretty good and boiling water efficiency of 40-45% attests to it. The flue gases exit at the top of the cooker around 110 degrees Celsius.</font></font><div>

I understand the frying and bread making but am wondering about the stacked steaming. My question relates to the gas velocity past the pots. Are you changing the rate of flow by choking it (partially closing the top in some way) or is it a plain cylinder that drafts the heat from the lamp past the pots as fast as it can? </span></p>
