And Andrew wrote earlier:

<<<It is possible though, with top lighting and stoking if dry kindling
is used as a starter. A number of the list can vouch for this,
including the lurker who has scaled up and implemented a lightly
forced draught device based on my design, CO down to 150ppm at >50kW(t)
burning freshly cut hazel chips.>>>


When Andrew mentioned David's work, I became curious about the "lightly 
forced draft" and the device based on Andrew's design.

IF (please note the "IF") that information is able to be shared either to 
the whole Stoves list or to individuals who agree to not divulge it (I do 
so agree), would Andrew please send it and would David please provide 
comments.  (IF restricted information, please make that clear in order to 
avoid any confusion.)

In my work on the Juntos stoves (plural), the issue of draft is extremely 
important.  Anything from natural draft to mechanical pumps to electrical 
blowers could be important in the various segments of societies where 
different traditions and financial resources must be taken into consideration.
