<p><font size="+1">Dear Philip,</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">There may be a lot more things we can determine
once we get control of the six variables And that will depend on
how much control we can get. Even the discussion Paul and
Crispin are having as the CO and CO2 reactions will need control
of the biomass properties and packing before answers (with help
with using helium surrogate) is determined. And we must be
using real wild biomass prepared for the combustion chamber or
the results will mean nothing when the stove and test results
are delivered to the receiving site. <br>

controlled enough to do what you suggest about determining high
and low power possibilities. That may be left to Cecil and his
ethnography work to see what people like best. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">But I do feel certain that nothing will be done
(like for the past ten years) until we do get control of the
variables. This is not an engineering problem - like it has been
treated. Simply going from biomass fuel > to > completed
task. And how well people like using the stove. <br>
