...and burns free fuel, if I understand your point.<br>
<br>
While we're imagining. Lets image a $200 dollar stove that heats
a room or rooms, with pellets, even when the power is out, and
helps rural folks, especially the elderly, stay in their homes.
Lets imagine that the profits, or a portion, go towards the
greater stove needs elsewhere.<br>
<br>
Poor is relative, and I'll make no comparisons, but cord wood,
oil, propane, electricity, are inappropriate or to costly for a
growing number of people in 'rich' countries. <br>
<br>
Imagine, these two related goals; better, cleaner stoves, 'north
and south', temperate and tropical, could be linked. <br>
<br>
Probably just a dream....<br>

mass-produced cheap cell- phones and
mass-produced cheap stoves. The loss of profit
on the product will easy be covered by the
operation with an agreement between theproducer
and the operator , price on minutes talking or
price of fuel for everyday clean cooking, . To
cover a huge area by mass-produced stoves you
demands homogeneous fuel like pellets to work
properly all over. (See the other discussion
about gravity).<span> </span>Was that not what
