[Paul S. Anderson]

Dear Stovers and Gas-L readers,

I have sent to Tom Miles for posting to the Bioenergylist.org website a 5-page
document about the topics in the Subject line above.  I place here only the
first few paragraphs.  Tom Miles will inform us when and where the full
document is available on the Internet.

I hope you enjoy it.

Fan-blaster Combustors, Stove Camp 2006, and the Dell-Point Pellet Stove
                 Paul S. Anderson
        Submitted to the Bioenergy.org website on 18 September 2006

	I have used this Title / Subject name “Fan-blaster Combustors, Stove Camp 2006,
and the Dell-Point Pellet Stove” because all three are related and are topics of
recent messages on the Stoves and Gasification Listservs..

1.  What is a "fan-blaster"?
	Perhaps there is a better name for the combustion technology found in pellet
stoves, but I do not know what it is.  Essentially a controlled stream of
focused air is directed onto a small amount of fuel that is being continually
replenished.  It is not simply "a fan stove" because that could apply to any
stove that uses a fan.  This type of combustion is related to the blast of air
that is perhaps similar to "blast furnaces" where extra air is forcefully
injected and does good things.  So I have called it "fan-blaster" technology. 
It is not sufficiently clear to say “pellet stove” because other combustion
technologies can and do burn pellets; and some of the same technology is used
in corn burners and where small pieces of wood are used as fuels.  Names other
than “fan-blaster” are welcome as long as they are clearly defined and do not
overlap onto other combustion technologies.

2.  What stoves are "fan-blasters"?
	A.  Standard pellet stoves, corn stoves, etc.
	B.  The Dell-Point pellet stove.
	C.  The "Woodflame Gusto" stove

            	Forced-air T-LUDs when they are NOT used as T-LUDs!!!!!
	D.  Reed’s Woodgas Campstove, when NOT used as a T-LUD.
	E.  Phillips stove, when NOT used as a T-LUD.
	F.  Anderson’s “Juntos B,” when NOT used as a T-LUD.

(what follows in the full document will inform you about Stove Camp 2006
experiences and the "Cat Pee" results.)
