The turn down from full on is reasonable, if not as great as a modern gas stove in the privileged world.<br><br><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Agreed! Now, to get people to produce those in quantity and at a price people are willing to pay. A non-TLUD stove with a fan has the same range of power. A chimney stove can approach that level of variability but it is harder to control.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Most TLUD’s are ND and cannot achieve a sustained variation in power – let’s say 4:1. It is a significant drawback if the cook wants a 6:1 turndown ratio. I can’t make them want to use more power all the time. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Regards<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Crispin<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
