Doug, (and I sent this to the Stoves List because fuel preparation
is of interests to them also.)
I too am quite interested in this. I saw it some years ago when I did
not have conditions to proceed. Now I would like to build one and see
it put into action. Any further info and comments on experiences would
be appreciated.
A major related issue is the feeding of the sticks. An angled trough
with gravity helping the flow down to a "stopper" could help.
For straight fuels (such as reeds and non-branching shafts such as
bamboo and young poplar, pine etc) this could be really a great
assist. The gnarly bifurcating branches of many trees present some
difficulties (and opportunities to find solutions!!).
