Absolutely interesting and important is the just-released 8-minute
video from Aprovecho. Especially the final 2 minutes (starts at
5:50) need to be seen by all serious stove developers. There ....<br>

This is the first time these stoves have been openly shown, even
though showing only a few seconds each. Of exceptional note is
the natural draft TLUD-ND stove designed by Kirk Harris!!!<br>
<br>
One error (a very common misconception) is in the video at 6:46
concerning the Aprovecho "Top Loaded Forced Air stove", putting it
into a category with forced air TLUD stoves, saying that the
"TLUD-FA design [that] is used in the Philips, BP, and Biolite
stoves." These four stoves use the migratory pyrolytic front
(MPF) of the TLUD technology only at the beginning of burning, and
then the fire is in the bottom (bottom burning with additional
fuel added on top, as in standard (not MPF) up-draft gasifiers)
with forced primary air blowing onto the charcoal located there,
creating forge temperatures that require special materials
(ceramics, cast iron, special metals) to avoid fast damage to the
fuel chamber. We do not know yet what is inside the fuel chamber
of the Aprovecho "Top Loaded Forced Air stove". These are cost
factors.<br>
<br>
This is all great progress!!!. Congratulations Aprovecho!!!!
<br>
<br>
We will want to be comparing the cost of manufacture (or the sales
price) of all of these stoves. And the announced field trials of
these 5 stoves in 6 countries will be of great interest. <br>
<br>
The first 6 minutes shows the sophistication of mass production of
SSM company in China. In the world of cookstoves, this is big
business.<br>
<br>
And we will see these 5 stoves (among others) at the ETHOS
meeting 23-25 January 2015 in Seattle area.<br>
<br>
Enjoy!!<br>
