[Stoves] RE: Henson Center Fiure Burner System; Was: Re:improving charcoal stoves

[Tom Miles]

The topic is still charcoal burning. The New Lao, Gyapa and KCJ are
examples. 

Note that I noticed a "deeper combustion chamber" in the New Lao not a
deeper fuel bed as Andrew and Paul imply. We're trying to burn charcoal here
not make gas. 

CFSP can tell us how the stoves are used in practice and what they have
measured.
