[Stoves] Request for help choosing the right wood stove

[adkarve]

- I have successfully tested a prototype of TLUD type of charcoaling unit
meant for an urban householder plagued by the problem of disposing off leaf
litter. When mass produced, its cost in India would be about US$70.  I am
however afraid, that like our SARAI cooker, the cost of transporting it to a
foreign country would be disproportionately higher than the cost of the item
itself. Perhaps we may offer the engineering drawings at a price.
- Yours
- A.D.Karve
