[Stoves] Magh Smoke Burner Stove

[Ruban K]

Dear Mr. Reed,

I have been looking at the various TLUD options available on the net and in 
most cases the choice of blower is the same: a 12 V computer fan. While 
these fans can withstand reasonable temperature ranges there is a risk that 
over heating in a stove might put them at risk of melting / deforming.

This did happen in a demonstration TLUD that I had made.

Have you come across anyone who has maybe a more robust fan (read maybe 
metal fins) suitable for use in dusty, rural environment?

warm regards,
Ruban
