<p>Alex,</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions.</p>
<p>I like the idea of using a swinging 40 lb sand bag for a bump test.</p>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>Lanny,<br>Here are some related testing
standards. The residential heating stoves are tested for clearance to
combustible surfaces and the ability to withstand a swinging 40 lb sand
bag.<br><br>is there a UL standard for this or are you starting a new class of
appliance?<br><br>Alex<br><br><br>On 12/03/2013 2:45 PM, Lanny Henson

burners)</font>
</li><li><font size="4">Hot coals spill out, roll out or puff out igniting
combustibles. </font>
</li><li><font size="4">Flame containment, not enough distance to
combustibles.</font>
</li><li><font size="4">Hot stove surfaces, not enough distance to
combustibles.</font>
</li><li><font size="4">Structural integrity, falls apart, burns up, door fails,
legs breaks off</font>
</li><li><font size="4">Sharp edges that can cut or scrape</font>
</li><li><font size="4">Sparks out the exhaust that could ignite combustibles
</font>
</li><li><font size="4">Volume of fuel in a batch could be a factor. example 12
kg of wood in a wood space heater verses 1 kg of wood in a cook stove. 12
kg has the potential to do more harm than 1 kg.</font>

a sunken pot stove.</font> </li></ol></span><br>
