<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>All,<BR><BR>I like Tom's comments.
And I remind Otto and others that there is a major difference between the TLUD
pyrolysis stage in an Oorja and the carbon-burning stage in the same stove that
is operated after the Migratory Pyrolytic Front (MPF) has reached the
bottom. THAT is why the Oorja has the cast iron cup at the bottom,
to protect the regular metal from the forge-heats of air blowing on hot
char. With the FORCED air onto that hot char, the cup glows red
hot. And with the forced air the fine particles can be elevated out
of the cup and out of the stove, and into the room, as Otto has
described. <BR><BR>Otto wrote:

TLUD should be the perfect device for high ash fuels. Jock Gill has burned a
lot of grass pellets in TLUDS so that should be good indication. Paul W
had burned bundles of grass as you, Otto, probably have. Just as you have
described the temperature in the carbon should be well below sintering
temperatures low until you reach the char burning stage. At that point you
will be oxidizing he carbon at well above 1000C which will melt most ash and
you will get clinkers.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri","sans-serif"; COLOR: #1f497d'>The
fine carbon burnout will only be as efficient as the gas burning portion of
the TLUD even so it should be very good. I agree with Dean that the carbon
burnout in a forced draft stove might be an issue. On the other hand you can
have low velocities at the grate and higher velocities above the grate burnout
should be very good. The challenge is doing that in stoves that operate at low
power, poor air control, and burns with very high excess air. It would be
difficult to recirculate flue gas in as small stove. Even then you need lower
oxygen in the recirculating gas than you can get in a stove.

Crispin and to our experience, the flames reaching the cooler pot, instantly
create char or black carbon - insufficient combustion create more PM and black
carbon........!?<BR> <BR>The fan driven Oorja, was tested here with
woodpellets, four years ago.<BR>At full blast the "room" was soon covered in a
thin layer of soot and ash.<BR>The cast iron combustion "chamber" was glowing
instantly- around 1000 - 1100 C.<BR>What about ultra fine particles......??
<BR> <BR>Natural Draft gasifiers, are the way
forward................<BR> <BR>We will soon test the Peko Pe with staw

colbs (agri-waste) as fuel, we noticed a temperature of 450 - 550 C at
the top of the flame and around 350 -400 C at the pyrolysis front.<BR>At the
end of the burn, when most gases are utillized and the char starts glowing, we
can raech the temperature arond 900 - 1000 C.<BR> <BR>To avoid clinker
