<DIV><FONT size=4>Dear T,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>First, why you need a heating stove at your latitude?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Heat resistant fans are expensive, can you set the fan back
from the combustion chamber with a short duct so the fan does not heat
up?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>For fiberglass rope I use Auburn Manufacturing. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><A

<DIV><FONT size=4>They have all types of heat resistant materials like
fiberglass and ceramic, rope, and cloth.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If you like I will call them Monday for a price and to see if
they ship internationally.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If you just need a short amount to prototype Ace hardware
USA</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><A

<DIV><FONT size=4>may ship internationally, or maybe there is a hardware store
closer that will ship to you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>You will have to buy at least a 1 box from Auburn Mfg. which
will be about 250 feet depending on the diameter of the rope. Rope comes in low
density and high density. Low density will probably work best if you are
stuffing it in a gap. To increase the thickness in the gap you can just stuff
more low density rope in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If there is any advice I can give about the size please ask.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Stay away from asbestos fiberglass should be high temp
enough.</FONT></DIV>

day Sir/ Madam,</SPAN>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px">My name is T.
Shatika and I am currently working on the project of making a bio-char stove
that will be used for both heating and making bio-char. The stove is required
to have a small (heat and fire resistant fan) for supplying air (10kg/s) into
the combustion chamber in order to achieve a complete combustion. The problem
I have is, here in Namibia they do not seem to supply such fans. The other
issue is I am as well failing to get the fiberglass fire ropes or even
asbestos fire ropes to seal my stove with. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px">May you advice on
the types of heat and fire resistant fans and the seals that I can use for my
stove.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px">Kind
regards,</DIV>
