Re: Cleaning up clouds

A.D. (and stover to help)

How can I get two of these cookers, one to the USA and one to South Africa?  
Anyone travelling from India to these places and willing to carry one?  

(I think my credit is good with A.D. for US$20 plus something for the package 
carriers, so if a chance opens up to do this, please take action.  Once the 
goods are in the USA, delivery there is an easy matter.)

I believe that the Juntos gasifier will be a viable heat source for this type 
of cooking, and I would like to test it.

Thanks,

Paul
