Paul Olivier' s work in Vietnam has taken rice-husk burning stoves in the household-size range to another level, uncomparable with natural-draft stoves like the Mayon Turbo, LoTrau or whichever. Paul has generously shared a lot of his work on this list in the last days, so you can look more details up from the links provided there or consult the section on rice-husk burning gasifiers, pages 43-48 of the manual microgasification <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; "><a href="http://www.gtz.de/de/dokumente/giz2011-en-micro-gasification.pdf">http://www.gtz.de/de/dokumente/giz2011-en-micro-gasification.pdf</a>, </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; ">it contains all I found as per last year.
