RE: CO meters (again)

["Bryan Willson" <Bryan.Willson@colostate.edu>]

Bruno -

Sorry for the delayed response, as I've been traveling.

I suppose you might lost some heat transfer, but I feel pretty certain that
heat transfer is dominated by flame radiation and convection from the hot
flue gases, neither of which is affected.  Haven't quantified the
difference, but it seems a small price to pay for ability to measure mass
consumption of fuel.
