<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Erin,<br></div>Thanks for sharing the information on <span style class="">Wonderbag's</span>. It seem particularly timely in light of the disaster relief needed relief. Retained heat cooking really stretches scare fuel and energy resources. With the added benefit that these are very inexpensive.<br>
<br></div>I wanted to give <span style class="">Wonderbags</span> a plug and share a note of caution. We had a supporter of the <span style class="">Estufa</span> <span style class="">Finca</span> project donate several <span style class="">Wonderbags</span> she purchased, to us for informal field testing with our cooks in the <span style class="">Talamanca</span>. We also had a really positive exchange of information with the South African <span style class="">NGO</span> creating and marketing them. The bags are very well made. They come with good instructions (in English) and some great recipes. They worked great when used carefully.<br>
<br></div>However, our experience was that once they went into use in the field and were used in combination with 5+liter pots coming straight off our <span style class="">TLUD</span>-style stoves, the inside bottom liner was scorching very quickly. Then the women got nervous about continuing to use them.<br>
<br></div>It's a good product that could be improved with a better liner.<br></div>Art Donnelly<br><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 1:00 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stoves-request@lists.bioenergylists.org" target="_blank">stoves-request@lists.<span style class="">bioenergylists</span>.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>
