Re: Gasifier fundamental question

["Kevin Chisholm" <kchisholm@ca.inter.net>]

Dear Dr. Karve

I think Paul is asking the wrong question, when he asks if it makes any
difference where the fuel is being burned.

The answer to that question is, to me, in my blatant humble opinion, is very
obvious: It must be burned where the stove design requires it to be burned.

I also feel that a stove design which has a yellow flame contacting a
surface from which heat is being removed is a poor design, in that the
combustion in process will be partially quenched, leading to blackening of
the pots, loss of heat transfer capability,  loss of heating value, and the
presence of the products of partial combustion in the off-gas products.

Kindest regards,

Kevin Chisholm
