<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Stovers,<br>
<br>
On Tuesday 28 January to noon on Friday 31 January, there is a
gathering of some stovers and others at Aprovecho Research Center
in Cottage Grove, Oregon. This is an Open House, not a Stove
Camp. Fewer people, most of them already experienced at
Aprovecho, and coming with some specific interests that may or may
not become topics for others. What Dean Still and I know thus
far is this, but all is subject to change:<br>
<br>
We expect that the start is 9:00 AM on Tuesday. We gather in the
main room, have introductions, and each focal topic gets
explained, and key people in each topic can set out their "game
plans" for the next few days.<br>
<br>
We are NOT planning to have organized presentations, but some
could occur. However, we are expecting to have some great
discussions of topics that people propose and that others agree
that they want to have happen as discussions. <br>
<br>
Known groups/topics:<br>
<br>
1. One group will be focused on rice husk TLUD-FA gasifier
stoves. We expect to have at least 3 units for comparisons and
testing. Alexis Belonio is bringing one. Joe James (new guy)
is bringing one from Vietnam, called HOS or Rua stove. (HOS is
from Hanoi and is not
the one by Paul Olivier). Paul Anderson is bringing one that is
still prototype, and we might make some pieces for it. A fresh
supply of rice husks has arrived! One specific objective is to
advance the rice husk TLUD-FA units for production and
dissemination in numerous countries. Centralize and decentralized
production options of these and other stoves will be discussed.<br>
<br>
2. Concerning natural draft TLUDs, one group is centered around
Art Donnelly's efforts to have an additional char-making stove
design for Costa Rica. Paul Anderson's Troika TLUD-ND and Paal
Wendelbo's Peko Pe will be present and functional.<br>
<br>
3. Christa Roth will be there and interested in both of the
above, and more.<br>
<br>
4. Dale Andreatta will be there with a separate project that he
is doing.<br>
<br>
5. Whatever Dean Still and the Aprovecho crew have will be most
welcome. Those interested in stove testing will have a great
opportunity to be side by side with Aprovecho staff.<br>
<br>
6. Kirk Harris should be there with his innovative air flow for
TLUD stoves. (He will be showing it for the first time at
ETHOS).<br>
<br>
7. The Burn Design group could be participating with their own
topics. That could include charcoal-burning stoves.<br>
<br>
8. Discussions about biochar and char-making stoves will be
discussed by several people interested in that.<br>
<br>
Aprovecho has promised donuts, coffee, and two available emissions
hoods for stove testing.<br>
<br>
Reservations are NOT required, but the sooner we know of your
intention to be at the Open House, the better prepared we can be
to maximize your experiences. There is not fee for the Open
House. And those attending will organize themselves about group
meals or eating out together.<br>
<br>
We hope that many of you can attend!!<br>
<br>

<br>
This Open House is not a Stove Camp. Fewer people,
most of them already experienced at Aprovecho, and

<br>

that he is doing.<br>
<br>
5. Whatever Dean and Apro have will be most welcome.<br>
<br>
6. Kirk Harris should be there with his innovative air
flow (will be seen at ETHOS).<br>
<br>
7. The Burn Design group could be participating with
their own topics. What does Burn want to do?<br>
<br>

<br>
Dean, have the rice husks arrived? And be sure to
bring some (maybe 2 of 5-gallon buckets??) to ETHOS.<br>
<br>
Dean, add more topics.<br>
<br>
And we can sent this out to the Stoves List serv as an
info item.<br>
