It would seem that this is very<br>important practical issue, and that a stove that could burn wet wood<br>would be very popular. What makes a stove burn wet wood well or poorly?<br>The only time I remember someone saying something about this was<br>Crispin, who I believe said recently that preheating the primary air<br>makes it possible to burn wetter wood. This would be easy with a batch<br>stove, harder with continuous feed. Other than that, I can think of a<br>couple things that might help burn wetter wood. <br><br>Dale Andreatta <br><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>
