I also apologize to others who were there to see the demos.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">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.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">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.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">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!</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Ron</p></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Stoves mailing list<br><br>to Send a Message to the list, use the email address<br>stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br><br>to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page<br>http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org<br><br>for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site:<br>http://stoves.bioenergylists.org/<br><br></div></body></html>
