You 'would guess' wrong. <br>
<br>
'We should be very careful advising people' about such unsupported conclusions.<br>
<br>
The challenges of gasifying oils found in seeds, notably the oils of Jatropha seed, in a cookstove are far different from working with most pellets formulations. <br>
<br>
I keenly look forward to news of your all-fuel stoves that will handle J seeds, and the results of your tests. I sincerely hope you develop this soon, so I can finally retire in peace.<br>
<br>
Oh, and when you do tests, please include particulates in your emissions testing, so we can finally end all this hand wringing about 'these types of fuel'.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear stovers,
<div><br></div>
<div>I would guess that "any" gasifier will burn jatropha seeds or pellets cleanly and efficient, as long as the moisture content are less than 10%.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We have in the pipeline to test a new design of natural draft gasifiers, using jatropha seeds and pellets, for emmissions and toxcic fumes.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We should be very carefull adviceing people using these types of fuel, before it has been carefully tested by independent institutions.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Have a nice weekend.</div>

I admit that it got lost in my messy inbox which I have now reduced from 6000 messages to a mere 2400, and in the process uncovered Joyce's email.<br> <br>Burning Jatropha seeds whole or in briquettes in open cooking arrangements is a bad idea. It produces a smoky, smelly fire and probably exposes cooks to toxic emissions. I even question burning Jatropha oil in lamps in enclosed areas for the same reason. Maybe others know of emissions studies.<br><span style="color:#1f497d">[snip]</span></span></p></div></div><br>_______________________________________________ Stoves mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site: http://www.bioenergylists.org/</div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________ Stoves mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site: http://www.bioenergylists.org/</div> </div>
