What is the concept you wish to prove?

How is the Juntos going to be different from other stoves presently
available?

Thiis is an enormous burden to put on the stove designer. His task would be
enormously easier if you could give him a more limited capability
requirement.

Again, this makes the designers job very difficult. It is harder to design a
stove with a wide turn-down capability than it is to design one with a
narrow turn-down capability.

Your "Design Concept" should also indicate th intended function of the stove
(oven, hot plate, direct firing of the pot, or indirect firing of the pot),
and size. (physical size limits, number of pots or loaf capability)

Not really. At this stage, I don't understand enough about what you want to
accomplish to be a potential help.

Kindest regards, and best wishes for success.,
