Pili <i><b>(canarium ovatum)</b></i> is an endemic species of my place here at the Bicol Region which is south of Manila. The shells are very much heavier than macadamia nuts and has a density of 0.87 grams/cm3. . </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Two days ago we began hauling 4 tons of the shells to become my stocks of fuel. I will sell the shells along with my PapaBrick Stove. And then, while we are hauling the shells, we were offered another 6 tons of shells from the neighbor farm, both in the same village. I used to purchase the shells from another village where to my best estimate, there is more than 10 tons per month that are very much underused. This supply is expected to increase as more farms have planted thousands of pili trees as the farmers got more awareness with the use of the shell for gasifier stoves. </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">On the other hand, the PapaBrick Stove is giving us satisfying performance, now that we know better how to use it can perform as a TLUD gasifier stove during the cold start phase and then work as a rocket during the hot start phase in a continuous mode. </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">One load receives 1.25 kg of the shells and runs for 75 minutes of very clean flame, boils 4 liter of water in 14 minutes during the cold start phase and then 9 minutes during the hot start phase. </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">After the flame has gone out, we can harvest an average of 2.73 grams of char from the raw fuel of 1.25 kg or about 21 % recovery.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Going further i fabricated a lantern on top of the stove.

Crispin and all,<br>
<br>
Do you know of any location that has these shells and has access to
TLUD gasifiers? The combination of these shells and TLUDs has
great potential, but only if someone somewhere puts the two together
in a serious project or venture. I would be interested in having
contact with people in such situations.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">The price is something like $70 per ton.
Moisture is low and energy ins in the 18-19 MJ/kg range. The
can be burned in a TLUD to make charcoal, and the charcoal is
strong enough to sell in sacks.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The interesting about these fuels is they
are not just available in many thousands of tons, they pack
quite well so a packed bed gasifier is a pretty good burner.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For crossdraft and downdraft enthusiasts,
they can also be used in hoppers burning something and
