[Stoves] Stoves Digest, Vol 8, Issue 4

[Chris Smith]

Speaking of the excellent Britelyt lantern (not to mention their stove which
can burn alcohol - as well as biodiesel and other liquid fuels - a true
multi-fuel stove) ...

...is there current status info on the availability of the alcohol Noorie
lantern (which has a stove adapter, like the Britelyt)? Or on it's mantle
composition (to keep with thread).  I believe Anil K. Ravjanshi had written
that 2007 would be a target date for release, hopefully for export as well.
Stats are similar to the Britelyt, though unless I'm mistaken a setup for
operation with alcohol would be required for the Britelyte while it's just
turn-key for the alcohol Noorie.  Light output and fuel consumption stats
are similar.  The Noorie being made in India, may be substantially cheaper
and I believe it functions with lower concentration alcohols, being designed
to operate with the user's self-produced ~60% alcohols produced from biomass
waste from their own home garden food production efforts.  An integrated
sustainable loop.  Comments and/or project update are much appreciated.
