<p><font size="+1">Hi Steven,</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">I like this. All of it. I would add the particle
density and length to width ratio. Good to add the moisture - I
forgot and left off my list. I like the hydrogen but thinking of
keeping the cost of equipment down so left that out. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">You must have a TGA and CHN analyzer?<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Now people just need to send you a sample of
their fuel. Use their fuel to cook a meal using a specific stove
and record the:</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Box-2) Rate and amount fuel was added.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Box-3) name of stove</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Box-4) utensils used</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Box-5) process of cooking (stirring, flipping,
covered)</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Box-6) Quality of finished task and time it took</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">and any helpful notes along the way. You add your
fuel data and we have the first of many reports.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am thinking the following are the
properties of biomass that effect the small stove combustion
process. And that the constituents listed cross all biomass
boundaries. No need to say ‘oak’ or ‘pine-cones etc. It covers
the range from Richards briquettes, rice burners, dung, stick
wood and chips. Although the test methods may not perform to
ASTM procedures they are designed to be easily performed in
any small backyard lab and results in the working range of
biomass. The list is as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
