[Stoves] collecting pyrolysis gas over water

[adkarve]

Dear Engineer Weerakkody,
we tried your suggestion but it did not work.  All we got was an emulsion of
tar and water, but no free gas.
Secondly, the next time you send a message in answer to a particular topic,
just include that particular topic in you message, cutting off the
extraneous matter.
Yours
A.D.Karve
