Re: Chimney info

["Tom Reed" <tombreed@attbi.com>]

Dear Paul and All:

Excellent question.

Our position at the BEF Stoveworks is that a simple hood (not necessarily a
chimney) will carry out both the emissions of the stove (small or large) AND
the cooking odors, oil mists (from deep fry) garlic etc.  Every Indian
teepee or Anisasi Kiva had a "smoke hole".  So every African hut should be
instructed in supplying one.  Could be a very simple, cheap piece of sheet
metal near the eves....

I hope that Elizabeth Bates from Boiling Point will wish to put on some of
her nice African hood pictures for all of us to admire...

Yours truly,                        Tom Reed                   BEF
