<p>Hi Tony,</p>
<p>I just watched the video about the stove developed by the
Kisangani Smith Group. The stove I am talking about works exactly
that way. Itīs great! And the one from Tanzania is even done much
better.</p>

<p>Hi Tony,</p>
<p>a friend in Zimbabwe constructed a very simple metall stove for
burning plain sawdust/woodchips. It burned very well for about
two hours. If you are interested, I can send you a drawing.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<div>Dear stovers</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking for some advice or suggestions to utilise a
source of excess sawdust for institutional cookstoves at a
school. in Indonesia.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After several attempts with various devices to burn the
sawdust directly have failed to be accepted by the kitchen
over time I am now looking to better fuel management as the
solution.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking for simple lowcost options for Pelletizing or
making briquettes from the sawdust.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In various postings I have found reference to managing
sawdust/husk fuel using cowdung as a binding material and
simple screw or lever based press to create briquettes or
cakes that are dried.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Although dung is locally available there is considerable
resistance from the staff to incorporate dung into the
kitchen setting as part of the fuel.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The volume of source material available (6-8sacks/day)
does not justify a pelletizing machine and we feel this
opportunity could make for a good student lead project to
create a sustainable fuel management process for the
kitchen/support staff.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The available sawdust fuel is from treated bamboo from
local factory which has some moisture content (18-20%) at
time it is created.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have seen reference to other "binding materials" or
even partial pyrolysis to bind the fuel and am looking for
some suggestions of things to try for a local
pelletizing/briquetting process. <br>
</div>
<div>Or some arguments to accept dung as binding material.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We need to generate enough fuel to feed 6-8 stoves
operating over 2-4 hours food prep time on a daily or twice
daily basis with reasonable efficiency.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Suggestions??</div>
