[Stoves] Fuel specific Stoves

[rnv impex]

ADK,
THis makes Total Sense.Adapt if you must make a stove, to the regions
available Agri Bio Mass. Getting Closer to a centralised Bio Gasifier for
each Village -generating electric
current.If we could size up the Bio mass - the gasifier will give off the
'Producer gas' to run
that All Elusive 800 Bhp  Diesel Engine + Generator!!
