[Gasification] [Stoves] StoverSource Stove Store

[Thomas Reed]

Dear Tom Miles and All Stovers:

This is great news on the rocket stove front and I intend to order a few 
rocket stoves from Approvecho.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some may think that the Rocket Stove and the WoodGas stove are 
competitors, but they are actually complimentary for reasons not 
immediately obvious.

The 3 stone stove and the *rocket stoves* use long sticks and Mother 
Nature grows lots of long sticks.   These are traditional cooking fuels 
in developing countries.  See 

http://www.stoversource.com/

Our WoodGas stove uses small particles (nuts, shells, wood chips, 
pellets, twigs, dung, ...) and Mother Nature produces a lot of biomass 
particles.  These are NOT traditional cooking fuels, but they are widely 
available for the WoodGas stove, a whole new category of biomass. See

http://www.woodgas.com/woodgasstoves.htm

So, if we want to solve world cooking problems with biomass fuels, we 
need to develop both categories. 

Onward to a billion improved stoves,

TOM REED          THE BIOMASS ENERGY FOUNDATION
