Key from that publication is the list of 3 stoves tested: Oorja,
TERI SPT-0610, and Eco Chulha (by Abellon). You can search the
internet for each and see photos and info. <br>
<br>
What they all have in common is FA (forced air or fan assisted).
In basic TLUD configuration (or some fan-jet approach?).
Especially the Oorja encourages the "char-mode" after any migratory
pyrolytic front (MFP) has finished. <br>
<br>
The "char mode" is KNOWN to burn out the guts of these stoves, but
these stoves are still in use and are reserched with respectable
budgets and probably awarding of academic degrees.<br>
<br>
I suspect that few such researchers read the Stoves Listserv. Sort
of like reinventing a wheel that is not round.<br>
<br>
No further comments at this time. <br>

Tom and Stovers,<br>
<br>
Thanks for that reference and abstract.<br>
<br>
I am not going to pay about US$40 to read it, but when someone
does, please send comments to the Stoves Listserv. I am
particularly interested in the

"Char mode". Interesting. Burning char in a TLUD is not good
practice for cooking, but maybe the laboratory scientists want to
learn about something that is sub-optimal for cooking and shortens
the life of the stove. This is all too common in the "peer
reviewed" publications: Out of touch with the real-world
applications of micro-gasifiers.<br>
<br>
But maybe it is not a TLUD???? "fixed bed micro-gasifier stove"
might be something else? Or do the researchers choose to ignore
body of literature with TLUD mentioned?? The list of references
(seen at the provided link) certainly avoid any document with TLUD
in its name, but did include the first edition (2011) of Christa
Roth's major book.<br>
