[Stoves] Fan-blaster Combustors / trickle-fuel

[Boll, Martin Dr.]

Paul,

trickle, nice word. Sounds for me a bit like tric.

The tric for all hobo stoves is trickle-fuel mode. I tried some of those
types of stoves. And the only form to run them successfully is
"trickle-fuelling".

-and you can be sure: "less is more" like Jim Falk emphasized to me. 

- The stove examples you can look for: Kuenzi-"Magic flame" (Swiss product)
stove, J.Falk's Trail-stove (self-made-can-stove, description in the web.
Extremely simple to construct)

One needs to learn to trickle with the right amount of fuel in the right
moment. So maintaining fire gets again a sort of an art, it was.

 

But the manner of trickle-fuel burning you described:

 Is it not at least a bit like in the DEOM-turbo-stove, which I found in a
French website and announced to the list under the title: blow by draft, a
year or so ago? Tom had put it into the pictures site with translation of
terms.

 

-By the way, the manufacturer advertised, that it can burn big chops as well
as saw-dust and paper.

-As far as I know the chimneys used have a hight of 5 to 9 meters for
generating the draft

-Out of that draft a blow upside down into the flames is generated.

Chrispin, can certainly tell us, what range of blow will be reached by that
form of combustion by that hight of chimney.
