[Stoves] (no subject)

[Thomas Reed]

Dear Soumen:

I have worked with others who wanted to start at the price and make a 
good stove.  It is much better to start with the principles and adapt 
them to manufacture. 

Cheap stoves may be the only thing the Rural Poor can afford, but the 
Urban Poor need a low emission stove cheaper than using fossil fuel, and 
our WoodGas stoves fill this bill.  See the section on our WoodGas.com 
website.

Yours truly,

Dr. Thomas Reed              BEF    BEC
