There seems to me to be no reason that a hand cranked screw feeder could not be placed under a portable non-electrified stove. Is there some reason why this has not been done already? Does the ash accumulate on top perhaps?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">There is a Russian round plate burner that has fuel pumped up in the centre. The pile of fuel burns and as new fuel is added the ask falls off the side of the plate. It rotates slowly so I suspect there is a scraper of some kind on it at the edge. It is not a stove, it is 5 feet in diameter, 380 kW, but the principle is sound.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Regards</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Crispin</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span></p></div></div></blockquote></body></html>
