[Stoves] Energy loss into stove walls

At the combustor of the gases, the temperature should be about 900 to 
1000 C. But the pot support that I was using was too tall, so the pot 
was about 15 to
20 cm above the ideal position.  That situation is another factor contributing
to the high fuel consumption, but separate from the heat loss into stove walls
question.

Can you provide us with the specific heat capacity of the insulative 
bricks?  Or
please check that Ken Goyer has received these messages and see if he has the
specific heat capacity value.  These were Ken's 6-brick-stove bricks that he
gave me 2.5 years ago when I visited him.

I will send another message very soon (same subject) in reply to what Crispin
wrote.

Paul
