Dear Stovers Dr Paul has been here again - left this morning to Maputo. Yesterday we had a chance to light up the Basintuthu stove so he could see the rapid boiling test. We did not weigh the wood this time, but it was about 200 gm of mixed gum tree and pine. I lit the fire and put on the chimney. He took a couple of pictures so you all could see the package. It boiled in about 2 minutes which is when the fire pretty much was finished. It was slow getting to secondary combustion (about 45 seconds). At 3 minutes it had boiled off 40cc of water. He demonstrated his Juntos apparatus and we talked about charcoaling and smoke. He is here only briefly so we will make it back one more time in 2 weeks before returning to the USA.
