Wondering if one fuel source over another would make it easier to to control and maintain the desired temperature for baking? And the characteristics of the fuel we might measure to predict the optimum fuel to use? </div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Frank</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">

To all Stovers,<br>
<br>
I highly recommend that you watch Rebecca's video (10 minutes). It
is:<br>
1. Very well made, fast paced, with nice music, and very
informative.<br>
<br>
2. CAUTION: It will make you hungry!! Many views of delicious
food that was prepared with the Eco-Kalan and Bingka Oven. <br>
<br>
3. Rebecca's introductory comments (printed below) in this message
are not in the video, but will help you understand what is being
shown.<br>
<br>
4. I am also absolutely thrilled by the addition of TLUD heat
sources under the Bingka Oven!!! The TLUDs are in two sizes, and are
made of clay/ceramic!! And they can be removed from under the
Bingka Oven (as should be the case), so any appropriate sized TLUD
could be inserted. I request that Rebecca tell us more about the
making of clay TLUDs and the issues of cracking/breaking, how hot
the sides became, and about the weight (because they need to be
picked up and moved for refilling / replacement. <br>
<br>
5. There are some views at the beginning showing the making of the
oven. A VERY NICE PRODUCT!!!! I am sure that Jon and Flip can
relate to the work it takes to make ovens. I hope Rebecca will
direct us to more information specifically about making of the oven.
<br>
<br>
To Rebecca, CONGRATULATIONS on your very evident success!!!!!!!!!!!<br>
<br>
Paul <br>

Dear Friends,<br>
In the current video, I
share with you the
exciting developments
from the partnership
between the Eco-Kalan
Project with the Negros
Oriental Visayan Forum,
the 79th Infantry
Battalion and the 302nd
Infantry Brigade of the
Philippine Army in a
livelihood program based
on the Eco-Kalan and the
Bingka Oven.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
Since the Oct. 4, 2014
demonstration at Felipa
Beach on Cooking with
the Eco-Kalan and Baking
with the Bingka Oven to
members of SUMAPI
Dumandan
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://youtu.be/RUYq7i1gQj4">http://youtu.be/RUYq7i1gQj4</a>
), we have learned and
accomplished the
following:<br>
<div><br>
</div>
On December 14 -15,
2014, the Eco-Kalan
Project and its partners<br>
- set up an Eco-Kalan-C
kitchen with Bingka
ovens fired with wood
and coconut shell
charcoal and a
traditional oven fired
by wood for comparison;
and<br>
- officially launch the
Eco-Kalan & Bingka
Oven as a livelihood
program for SUMAPI
Dumandan under the
Visayan Forum's
umbrella.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
In reviewing the
interviews with SUMAPI
members, guests and
attendees at the
launching, I learned
about the limitations in
the supply of coconut
shell charcoal;
restrictions in the
production and supply of
wood charcoal; and the
seemingly unavoidable
smoke when using wood as
fuel for the Bingka
oven. Smoke during
baking can tarnish the
appearance and taste of
the baked product making
it unmarketable.. And
yet, wood is most often
the fuel of choice when
coconut shell or wood
charcoal are not
available or when wood
is free for the picking.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
I decided to make a clay
stove which can function
as a TLUD (gasifier)
stove in phase 1 of the
burn and as a charcoal
stove in phase 2. That
gave rise to the Whirly
Pinay-S (2 kg wood
capacity) and the Whirly
Pinay-L (4 kg wood
capacity) based on
Kelpie Wilson's tin can
Whirly Girl TLUD (Top
Lit Upward Draft) stove.
Our March 17, 2015 test
runs with the large
bingka oven using
firewood in the improved
Whirly Pinay (longer
secondary air slits)
produced clean,
untarnished bingkas in
all the 4 batches. <br>
<div><br>
</div>
On February 27, 2015
Lakbay Aral (Educational
Tour),<br>
- the Eco-Kalan Project
hosted the last of the
school year's Lakbay
Aral luncheon for 150
people. It was on this
occasion that the Whirly
Pinay-L was used to cook
breakfast for over 30
people who prepared the
luncheon. The coming
Lakbay Aral video will
include cooking the
breakfast.<br>
- the Eco-Kalan Project
was requested to provide
snack and water for
everyone travelling back
to Milagrosa, Sta.
Catalina. I challenged
the SUMAPI Dumandan and
Visayan Forum's clients
from Ayungon to bake 500
muffins using 4 Bingka
ovens fired by wood in
the Whirly-Pinay-S
stove; coconut shell
charcoal in a small and
large Eco-Kalan stove;
and by LPG in a gas
burner. They rose to the
challenge with
enthusiasm and
succeeded.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
On March 8, 2015 Baking
Extravaganza,<br>
- the Eco-Kalan team at
Felipa Beach and SUMAPI
Dumandan and Ayungon
Visayan Forum clients
baked and ate to their
hearts' content.<br>
