Re: Down draft stoves are grate!

    I am not sure to which thread you refer.  I am quite convinced that no
one has done any work on down draft stoves where there is separate primary
air control.  Because our up-draft stove work with pyrolysis gets away with
only primary air control, I do not know if it is necessary or desirable to
also have secondary air control.

    The only diagram I remember was one for the "Dasifier" sent in by Tom
Reed on November 5 (can be found in the archives fairly easily (I haven't
looked and assume it is there).

    I also suppose you or others might have looked at Piet Verhaart's photos
on Alex' site:
 (http://www.ikweb.com/enuff/public_html/DDBbq/DDB.htm)
        I am forwarding separately a response from Piet to me (that I
believe inadvertently left out "stoves") that may give you some leads.

    I hope others can add more suggestions that I have forgotten.

    I look forward to hearing of your new expanded research program -
especially as to your need for increased draft.

Ron
