        <div>There was something greatly puzzled me this morning.
          Decreasing the gas output, leading to more secondary-air
          demand! After putting on the gas-valve, much smoke appeared
          immediately. After exclude all other causes, it is for sure
           lacking of secondary-air that causes the smoke. after leaving
          a gap under the concentrator disk, smoke disappeared.  very
          interesting. it is possible that that smaller blue flame can
          produce more heat than large red flame, but it is very hard to
          imagine that less gas output lead to more air demand.  that is
          too strange.</div>

    <br>
    I now see that you use your cover plate as a control valve.   That
    is not correct method.   TLUD stove gas output is controlled by the
    entry of the primary air.  Please read more of the documents about
    TLUD stoves.  You are learning by experience what has been
    established earlier.<br>
    <br>
    At the same time, your experiment with the oats on the fuel bed is
    something new..<br>

                                    the late response, I have some
                                    trouble to break through GFW<br>
                                    to access gmail sometimes.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    I am a Chinese, lived in Zhenjiang,
                                    Jiangsu province, east part of<br>
                                    China. I just found the wood stick
                                    on the hill is so plenty so I try<br>
                                    to build a stove to burn it. I tried
                                    rocket stove and your fantastic<br>
                                    Champion stove, which is best of
                                    all.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    As for the oat, just a
                                    little(crashed pieces, with hot
                                    water, it can<br>
                                    be eaten immediately), maybe 10g? a
                                    lot of details I wanted to<br>
                                    describe to you yesterday. but I
                                    don't want to bother you with such<br>
                                    details. since you want to know, I
                                    am glad to explain now. when I<br>
                                    loaded the fuel, I added a layer of
                                    dry oat on top of it, then I start<br>
                                    to lit the fuel with some easy-lit
                                    materials, very hard to lit them. a<br>
                                    lot smoke, and I blow and blow,
                                    finally succeeded. then that blue<br>
                                    flame came out. and it burns for a
                                    very long time, twice longer maybe<br>
                                    than ordinary case. very steady, and
                                    I did not have to limit the<br>
                                    primary air all the time as I
                                    normally did.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    this morning I did some experiments
                                    on my TLUD stove, I just covered<br>
                                    the fuel with a plate while the
                                    flame got strong enough. there was<br>
                                    some insignificant effect. not
                                    obvious. I will try a bigger plate
                                    next<br>
                                    time.<br>
                                    <br>

                                        Anderson:<br>
                                        I have made a TLUD-ND stove
                                        after your Champion stove, it
                                        works very<br>
                                        well that I abandoned all the
                                        rocket stoves I previously made.<br>
                                        I write to you because I will
                                        report to you some discoveries
                                        I've got<br>
                                        today, maybe very important.<br>
                                        <br>
                                          This morning I add a layer of
                                        dry oat( just for fun ) on the
                                        fuel.<br>
                                        then something wonderful
                                        happened. the flame became
                                        small, blue and<br>
                                        stable. this kind of effect is
                                        very hard to achieve in ordinary
                                        case.<br>
                                        this kind of flame is very hot,
                                        stable and clean. I know the
                                        project<br>
                                        in india about your champion
                                        stove through DrTLUD website,
                                        Champion<br>
                                        stove is rejected by more
                                        wealthy family because it
                                        blackened the<br>
                                        pot's bottom somehow. Another
                                        defect of the TLUD-ND stove is
                                        that, it<br>
                                        is pretty hard to turn down the
                                        fire-power, when the flame is
                                        already<br>
                                        strong. A solution for these two
                                        problems is limitting the
                                        primary air<br>
                                        from above, not from under.<br>
                                          When I found the perfect flame
                                        this morning, I remembered a
                                        video (<br>
                                        <a

                                        ), posted by Dieter Weber.<br>
                                        he invented a Side-Lit-Up-Draft
                                        stove, limmitting primary air
                                        from<br>
                                        above, he explained the
                                        mechanism and the effect of his
                                        stove in the<br>
                                        video.<br>
                                        that's all.<br>
                                        <br>
                                        and, I am a Christian, I truly
                                        hope you are a christian
                                        already, so<br>
                                        that the Lord will reward you
