[Stoves] Designs

[IanVB]

Hi everyone..

I also have an application for heating, rather than cooking and am watching 
the designs that are talked about on this list with great interest. Seems, 
like Steve, I too have a background in electronics.

Also my application is in the developing world and is targeted toward 
preservation of the environment here. It involves heating for a kiln drier 
for Kava production.

What I would like to ask is if anyone knows of another mailing list that 
discusses applications for such designs as the rocket stove for others, for 
uses other than cooking.??

Maybe we could start one?
