Coal stoves needed 2

["john" <jmdavies@xsinet.co.za>]

Greetings,

The positive response to my  coal stove is indeed gratifying. It will take a
few days of careful thought to work out some meaningful replies.

Tammy, I wish you a speedy recovery. Yes, I will be very interested in
emission figures from clean burning coal beds, as applicable to the type of
stoves we are dealing with. I added a crude ventury to the stove today, this
appears to have had the desired result of a cleaner flame.

Crispin, we must definitely get together sometime. Looks as if I must visit
the passport office, and pay you a visit, but first, a few prototypes need
building..

Ron, While coal and wood basically burn in the same way, the gasses appear
to be so different, that I wonder if the same stove could be used for both.
But this certainly doesn't mean that it cannot be done.

AJH, I am skeptical that the fan idea would be acceptable to the majority
"here", but this is a long story. I once again heard the story that throwing
some corn meal ( maize meal, mealie meal ) onto the glowing coals, makes it
safe to move into the house. This time salt was also mentioned. Are we
working with superstitions, or is there an explanation that modern science
is missing ???

Regards,
John Davies.
