Dean,
The flame is in a glass enclosure. I don't really see this as a practical idea, I am more 
interested in it as a window on the flame dynamics. I would like to experiment with 
flamability limits (excess air) of "wood gas" (variable quality, moisture ect.) and flame 
holding methods. Its nice to have a good view of whats going on when changes are 
made.

Some day I would like to put it under your emissions hood and get some pariculate 
numbers.

Regards,


Alex
