[Stoves] Re Alexis Belonio article

Dear Kevin,

We have tested a Chinese stove that uses steam injected into the combustion
chamber. The jets of steam create superior mixing which results in cleaner
burning. It may be that the steam also makes hydrogen but I think that this is a
side issue. It's the improved mixing without using electricity that seems to me
to be the important result.

All Best,

Dean
