[Stoves] oven cook stove

[Paul S. Anderson]

Dear Dick and all,

The lehmans.com site has some interesting choices, but the prices are from
US$2000 up to $7000, and more if the extras are added.  Also there are many
issues about Dick's possible solutions if it is to be something other than a
store-bought unit.

1.  If a cookstove was built from scratch or even altered from an existing
stove, would it even be allowed inside of an American residence?  What about
the safety checks and permits and insurance questions?  These are serious
restrictions!!  Anyone have specific info on this??

2.  The Reed-based cookstove belonging to a Ward, Colorado, family (but now
moved closed to Denver) has a great cooking surface, but no oven.  (Did they
ignore restrictions, or were exempt if the stove was a special prototype for
them only and not for sale??)

3.  The Chip Energy Biomass Grill (www.chipenergy.com) is intended for outdoor
usage and does not have an oven, although space exists to place one.  
But it is
not as large as Dick mentions.  The Chip Energy updraft gasifier could be
adapted to larger stove structures, but the stove top would need to be
purchased separately if quality cast iron with inset rings is required.

4.  Dick is correct that there is a growing market for such biomass stoves in
affluent (North America and Europe) markets.  Off-grid and 
rural-isolated homes
could benefit greatly.  Progress with these stoves might have some development
advantages for stoves for the "middle class" people in the low-income
countries.

Comments please.
