[Stoves] Report from stoves conference

[Ron Larson]

Hi all (2 lists)

    There are perhaps100 persons at the ETHOS conference.  My impression is that all are pleased to be here - a well managed conference..  I was last here about 5 years ago and have see a lot of progress in the stoves area.  Probably 80-90% of the attendees know about the stoves list.  Tom Miles has received a lot of deserved credit for his part in helping stoves (and biochar) progress.

    Biochar has been fairly prominent - even in the very first session yesterday.  But it is not the main topic of course and lots of attendees not up to speed on the topic yet.   My guess is that there are about 10 persons here who are biochar list members.  Thee will be some demonstrations later today - and expecting charcoal-making stove demos by Paul Anderson and Nat Mulcahey (possibly another 6-8 demos of ordinary stoves??)  

    More later.  Any questions?      Ron
