Re: Juntos stove - refined somewhat

["Dean Still" <dstill@epud.net>]

Dear Paul,

I'm glad that we're starting to send small pictures, worth a thousand words
sometimes and does not clog up my not terribly fast system.

I've often wondered, especially since you started in this direction, whether
starting a fire above a fire in a chimney would benefit both fires so that
the result was overall cleaner combustion. Can you determine if this is so?

Does the upper fire clean up escaping smoke from the lower? Does preheated
hopefully swirling air help the upper fire to burn cleaner? Is there greater
draft because of the upper fire that assists better burning in the lower
fire? Are exit temperatures above 1200F? Etc.

Thanks for doing this interesting experiment!

Yes, the top part of your stove is a Rocket. But we certainly have no
trouble with anyone using Rocket ideas...That's what we're trying to spread
around!

Best,

Dean
