[Stoves] emissions

[Paul S. Anderson]

Dean, Nordica, and all,

You wrote "this year", but 2007 is still 11.5 months long.  PEMS has 
been shown
at ETHOS and Stove Camp for the past 2 years at least.  We are anxious.  What
are the limitations preventing release?

Can pieces of your PEMS be purchased separately?  Specifically, the 
measurement
of the Particulate Matter (PM) is probably the most important "missing link",
while CO and CO2 have several other options for measurement.

What would the PM components cost?  Name your conditions.

Paul
