Hello Crispin, LuciaStove production in in full swing now in Ghana, will do a write up for Erin with photos soon (internet permitting) We've tuned the stove to work with two basic feedstocks for now. and palm waste (which really is a waste here for they burn it in large heaps to just get rid of it) has turned out to be a grand fuel. easy to use in a tuned stove, long burning nice almost completely blue flame easy to add fuel. would that all our programs kick off so well, but we do have some rather super partners which is a blessing. You are right about the oily fuel having a few issues but if the stove is tuned, it is works just fine. nice tar cracking too so a good clean hot flame and no soot on the pot More later Nat of WorldStove essage: 1 ate: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 08:42:10 -0400 rom: "Crispin Pemberton-Pigott" <[email protected]> o: "'Discussion of biomass cooking stoves'" <[email protected]> ubject: Re: [Stoves] Stoves Digest, Vol 49, Issue 11 essage-ID: <010901cb299b$4e266580$ea7330...@com> ontent-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Dear Nat How are you finding it, burning oily things? I was just testing Baganuur Coal (from the Baganuur mine) and it had quite a igh oil content with a fairly long chain. It was clear that it takes a onger physical space to fully break down the molecules. Trying to burn it in a traditional stove but lit at the chimney end was etter than traditional procedures, however it burned very well when held in confined (2 inch diameter) gas path for about 2 feet. Palm nut waste should be in that category of needing time, temperature and urbulence but with an emphasis on time. Have you also found this? I can characterise the difference between high and low oil coal as the ydrogen rich(er) low oil coal (young lignite) needed about half the length f burn as the oilier hydrocarbon rich(er) coal (also young lignite).

I have seen those briquettes efore in Dalian, China. They are 'coked' in the open air and then added to he fire. By that I mean there are two fires: one making coke out of the ollow sausage briquettes and the other doing the cooking. Yes? Must have terrible CO.
