Dear Frans and Martin,

Thanks for the info and reminder of prior conversations.

Would you allow for some of our discussions to be via the Stoves 
Listserve?  For
example, your info about deformation of the stove top could have good
discussion.

Knowing of your interest in retained heat cooking is important.  That 
is a good
topic to examine, again with Stove Listserve participation seems useful.

I look forward to your mentioned future messages to me.

Paul
