<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Erich and Hans and all, and jss<br>
<br>
Use of a TLUD for a patio heater is very interesting, and raises
many questions. I hope that this new thread /Subject can stick
to this topic and that ...<br>
<br>
1. GOAL: collectively we can devise a practical patio heater
product with a TLUD as the heat source. <br>
<br>
2. But there are at least 2 Listservs involved, so it could
easily split. I will discuss with my webmaster James about
having summary information placed on my <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.drtlud.com">www.drtlud.com</a>
website. (I do not want to have the interactive discussions
there in the comments sections.)<br>
<br>
3. The summary of what has already been communicated is in
Erich's comments and Hans' photos (we will want to pull out the 4
photos that are numbers 0186, 0187, 0188, and 0192 .)<br>

<p>Hi Paul,<br>
<br>
The Patio heater conversion is in the same photo stream as
the Weber Kettle TLUD, that Hans posted.<br>
I had only posted the picture of the stainless steel patio
heater previously, not the exploded view with the
stainless steel cook pot and wire mesh & chimney
replacing the propane gas cylinder. <br>
So now I am keeping an eye out for a damaged Patio heater.
I imagine that the photo showing 500°C is considerably
more than what the propane puts out.<br>

Some questions: <br>
4. Is there a door for inserting and removing the TLUD? <br>
<br>
5. How well does it actually heat? And in comparison with the LPG
/ Propane versions that have more radiant heating, I believe.<br>
<br>
6. Costs and durability, etc.<br>
<br>
I hope that some readers and their friends will study this. If
interested, please speak up so that we can identify who could be
looking into this topic. (I am headed to Uganda on Sunday for
3 weeks and I will not be able to do much except to read the
messages and send some comments.)<br>
