[Stoves] Laboratory Comparison - but industrial standards for testing first!

[Tom Miles]

Penn, Charlie,

Testing the (WBT) test for the specific issues that have been raised would
seem to be in order. How would you test the tests? Can you design a suitable
test program to do that? 

Let's assume that there are at least eight labs that could perform the WBT
and emissions tests, three are NGO or government labs, at least five
universities are interested in stove and two are private labs that test and
certify wood heating appliances.

NGO - 		Aprovecho Research Center http://aprovecho.org/

University - 	UICIC Bond Research Group

What testing would you do to answer the questions posed by Crispin and Paul?
Who would fund the testing?

Aprovecho has an inventory of data from tests conducted using the WBT. Can
that be used/analyzed? Two changes in the method between Apro tests for the
same stove seem to be the load in the form of the pot size - 1 L, 2.5 L, 5 L
and the boiling times.
