<DIV>Dear Dean, Paul, Everyone at the Aprovecho Stove Camp 2013 and
Stovers,</DIV>
<DIV>Dean, Paul ¨C Thank you very much for organizing Stove Camp 2013. It
was the first I attended and will be one of many in the future. I had so
much fun and great learning opportunities from EVERYONE there. I also want
to thank Larry Winiarski for fulfilling my request for a simple and affordable
oven powered by the small family-sized Eco-Kalan for the street food vendors and
Bingka (coconut rice cake) & Torta makers in the Philippines. I tested
this oven on Thursday night with 2 baking pans of Brownies ¨C Paul, Art and
others can attest to the baking performance of the oven. The small
Eco-Kalan heated the barrel oven within a few minutes and easily
maintained the desired baking temperature (325 degrees F) for an hour. For
the Friday luncheon which Larry and I gave to the Stove Campers, I baked chicken
drumsticks with my BBQ sauce at 400 deg initially and later turned down to 350
deg F. The chicken was baked perfectly ¨C it was so good Simon
Anderson could not resist raiding the leftovers at 1 AM Saturday!! Larry¡¯s
oven is a darn good oven which I will further develop in the
Philippines. I also want to thank Mariela from the Dominican
Republic, David of the Dona Dora plancha stove fame and Bruce for getting
the rice, salad and chicken curry prepared for the hungry multitude!!
THANK YOU ALL for giving me the opportunity to show what the family size
Eco-Kalan and the Eco-Kalan-C can do.</DIV>

This is to give a few more final sentences on the running of the camp.
"Everyone" doing tests or preparing for ones by modifying existing stoves when
I got there at 8:00 for an official start at 9:00. (Earlier, I drove to the
other part of Aprovecho - permaculture - about 6 miles away.)
Probably a few had worked both late the previous night (and other nights) and
had also started earlier than 8:00 AM.. A little later than normal, the
AM meeting featured Dean giving design tips (TARP-V earlier [I
need help - I can't find my notes on that acronym]) and this time "MAMMA"
(Mixing, Architecture, Metering, Moisture, Air). Also numerous slides on
the production in China of the StoveTec product.<BR><BR> Many
people then were cooking for a big final luncheon. Especially Rebecca on
a chicken curry in a huge pot atop one of the two clay stoves she had
brought (her main change was dropping the pot support heights to improve
convective heat transfer). Larry W. was roasting chicken in a horizontal
closed 55 gallon drum atop a rocket. Many salads
appeared<BR><BR> I watched the testing of an interesting stove
designed by Kirk Harris (from La Rosa (?) CA. This was much larger
version of a camping stove he brought. Good results on abbreviated
testing. I'll write a separate report on this design as it had several
features I have not seen elsewhere.<BR><BR> Had intersting talks with
the other two (besides Rebecca) from outside the US. Both named "Omar" -
from Senegal and Burkina Faso. Both very knowledgeable - and here
looking for improved designs for their own countries.<BR><BR> Last
event of the day - hearing of the latest results and then a chance to
vote on two $500 prizes. Leaders on the TLUD side seemed to
be Paul Anderson's and Art Donnelly's - but people could vote for any
stove. Due to air schedules, I missed the final vote
tally. I hope someone can report all
results.<BR><BR> Final wrap-up
comment:<BR> . The camp was very well run
(its eleventh?). The price of $300 is a bargain if you have a design and
know nothing about its emissions. But for serious stove researchers the
lab is also open for free (!) testing.. Lots of expertise
here and very friendly support staff (free coffee and donuts all day -
and numerous chances to interact with others informally. I
have two brand new design ideas myself to try out.<BR><BR>
Questions and thoughts?<BR><BR>Ron<BR><BR> This report a little
rushed. Hope others will chime in - especially with the voting
results.<BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><BR><SPAN
