Roger,<BR> <BR>I have been following this list in looking for a suitable more efficient stove for use in NE Thailand. I looked at your video and the Kimberly looked very nice, but when I checked your website and found the price to be $3,500 +Tax +Installation, I was astounded. <BR> <BR>The video clearly states that the warranty is for a maximum of 5 years, so that's a potential writedown of $800 per annum which I fear is way beyond what potential customers will find acceptable.<BR> <BR>I guess that's the reason that fabrication is not done in the USA by American corporations.<BR> <BR>George <BR><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: firesidehearthvashon@hotmail.com<br>To: stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br>Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 23:37:30 -0800<br>Subject: Re: [Stoves] Grates and chimneys<br><br>

Dear Xavier, <br><br> I should be offended, but alas, I will send you a video link instead........yes our stove has a chimney!<br><br><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2" face="Tahoma "><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vkz6gKLayvc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vkz6gKLayvc</a><br><br> Roger and Bridget Lehet.<br></font><br><div><div id="ecxSkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> From: xvr.brandao@gmail.com<br>> To: stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br>> Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 23:59:35 +0100<br>> Subject: [Stoves] Grates and chimneys<br>> <br>> " It is unfortunate that people produce stoves that have chimneys, but are<br>> not actually clean-burning."<br>> Do we actually have chimney stoves that do not clog up after few<br>> months/years?

It is unfortunate that people produce stoves<br>> that have chimneys, but are not actually clean-burning. My point is that<br>> just because one produces a chimney stove is no excuse not to use that<br>> additional expense to create the draft needed to completely burn the fuel.<br>> Astonishing really. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> I wonder if there is too much emphasis on 'clean indoor air' without enough<br>> emphasis on 'not needing to worry about clean indoor air' in the first<br>> place. <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> That level of deposition is depressing. I heard about a stove being produced<br>> in the tea country high in Kenya which is used for space heating and<br>> cooking, According to the designer the 3 inch chimney would clog after three<br>> months. That is ridiculous! What kind of crummy combustion is that?<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> A chimney is as good as a fan - especially 3.5 metres. Fan stoves are<br>> supposed to be really clean or you have not done a good job. Shoving bad<br>> combustion outside does not solve much. The situation in Ulaanbaatar is<br>> exactly like that. No one has a stove without a chimney. The air outside is<br>> so polluted that it is contaminating the air drawn into the homes. So the<br>> chimney solved nothing - the problem is the stove.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Your grate price is good! I think we should be jealous! It would be so nice<br>> to be able to get good parts in cast iron.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Thanks<br>> <br>> Crispin<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Stoves mailing list<br>> <br>> to Send a Message to the list, use the email address<br>> stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br>> <br>> to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page<br>> http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org<br>> <br>> for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site:<br>> http://www.bioenergylists.org/<br>> <br></div> </div>
