I also apologize to others who were there to see the demos.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Good web site. They say there that users of this stove are now collecting wood weekly rather than daily. Wow. Would be every 3 or so days, if they want to drive the daily fuel cost negative through sale of char and need more income.</div><div><br></div><div>3. I talked (email) years ago with the stove developer (van der Sluice), who then was cooking with it daily, I recall. I believe usually turning off the fan and collecting char. If anyone can get a message to him, he should be greatly congratulated for his perseverance and accomplishment.</div><div><br></div><div>4. At the GACC Forum, there was a nice motivational plenary talk by a Philips VP. She and they also should be thanked for persevering and now being a partner in this new small Lesotho start-up firm. She emphasized the corporate philosophy for this sort of project. I don't think she mentioned any of Philips' involvement in this stove. This is a good reason to invest in Philips!</div><div><br></div><div>Ron</div><div><br><br></div><div><br>On May 6, 2013, at 3:19 PM, CHRISTA ROTH <<a href="mailto:stoves@foodandfuel.info">stoves@foodandfuel.info</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=us-ascii"><base href="x-msg://360/">Ron, check this: African Clean Energy <a href="http://www.ace.co.ls">http://www.ace.co.ls</a><div><br><div><div>Am 06.05.2013 um 05:54 schrieb <a href="mailto:rongretlarson@comcast.net">rongretlarson@comcast.net</a>:</div><blockquote type="cite"><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; "><br><br>3.

In any case it is hard to conserve the char with forced primary air. The fan powers both, the primary and the secondary air without separate control, so the hot char is likely to burn to ash, if you don't switch the fan off. </div><div><br></div><div>regards christa</div><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Stoves mailing list</span><br><span></span><br><span>to Send a Message to the list, use the email address</span><br><span><a href="mailto:stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org">stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org</a></span><br><span></span><br><span>to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page</span><br><span><a href="http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org">http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org</a></span><br><span></span><br><span>for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site:</span><br><span><a href="http://stoves.bioenergylists.org/">http://stoves.bioenergylists.org/</a></span><br><span></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
