<p>Christina,</p>
<p>Looks like a TLUD stove. Are both primary and secondary forced
air?<br>
</p>
<p>Construction:<br>
</p>
<p>Close all the holes in the sides of the inner chamber except the
top row. Double or triple the number of holes in the top row.</p>
<p>Cut out the pot stand angle iron over the hole to get more even
heating of the pot. Better yet, place the angle iron radially
instead of parallel. Do not cover the hole. Turn the angle iron
over so a flat side is attached to the top, and a vertical side of
the angle iron rises for the pot stand in an L shape.<br>
</p>
<p>Add a concentrator (a plate of metal with a moderately smaller
diameter hole in it) to the top of the combustion chamber to
concentrate the gas and heat for better combustion. Make the hole
around 18 to 20 cm, centered over the combustion chamber. <br>
</p>
<p>You could probably get by with natural draft, getting rid of the
solar panel, battery, wiring, and fan, if the bottom of the stove
is open to allow air in. The photo of the functioning stove shows
way to much flame. At least reduce the fan speed.</p>
<p>Use a larger pot for more efficient heat transfer. Optional:
Adding a skirt around the pot would increase the heat transfer and
reduce the fuel use.<br>
</p>
<p>Use:</p>
<p>Be sure the cook knows the proper function of the stove. Add the
fuel up to, but not above the top row of holes on the sides of the
inner chamber (now the only holes in the sides). Ignite the fuel
on the TOP only. Do not add more fuel, it is a batch type
stove. After the flame stops, remove the chamber and dump its
contents, then add more fuel to repeat the next burn. Char can be
burned, but it is very hot, and corrosive to the metal (shouldn't
be a problem since the chamber is removable and replaceable).</p>
<p>Wishing You well,</p>
<p>Kirk H.<br>

Hi Listserv!

Rules are strict on what gets let in and there is almost no
fuel inside Gaza for cooking. They currently have a pellet
design with a fan. I was hoping that someone might be willing
to jump on a call with me or the team there ASAP to try and
troubleshoot some problems they have in the design. This is
where they are at now. But they need to be able to make these
ASAP and all of the large manufacturers have long turn arounds
and shipping costs. </span>
