Juntos (Together) stove Feb 2002

["Paul S. Anderson" <psanders@ilstu.edu>]

Stovers and other Friends,

This is the first (pictorial) part of my report on the February 2002
developments with the Juntos (Together) stove.  The report includes
6 small-format pictures.  If your computer does not read in these
pictures, please contact me if you would like to have them.  I have
sent it to myself twice as a forward, and that seems to work.  But
it does NOT seem to "copy" and "paste", so you might
not be able to save it as a word processor document.

Since its inception a couple of months ago, the Juntos stove has been
modified substantially to simplify it.  It still is a
"stack" of burners, etc. on top of each other, but now each
burner or cooking unit or chimney unit can be individually removed
without moving any other unit.  This is because of multiple racks as
you can see in the first and second photographs.    

Picture 1 is below.

They are NOT grills nor grates.   They are RACKS to hold units in place.   The vertical (white) construction is cement blocks, but people could use bricks or hard mud or metal or stones or other materials (even wood if care is taken to not expose it to the flames.)

My Juntos stoves is inside a metal tool shed at my home.   The temperature during the time of these photos was about 45 degrees F (about 12-14 centigrade).  No wind because I am inside the shed (with the doors wide open.)

You are viewing a gasifier in the bottom level and an internally tapered
chimney in the second level.  More about the levels in a later
message.

Picture 3 below show the seven gasifiers, of which I made six myself
(except for the one on the far right end that fits into the metal box
next to it.)

Pictures 4 and 5 (below) show the top and bottom of one gasifier made from a #10 tin can with an outer metal "jacket" for pre-heating secondary air.












And picture 6 below shows that gasifier burning.



End of this message.  Another message with text only comes soon.
