At the local level only, I have no problem. But for companies form developed
nations to extract profit rents from economies that operate on a dollar or two
per day is a perversion.

The numbers I have for wood pellets suggest around 8,000 BTUs per pound.
Charcoal is about 12,000 BTUs per pound. From this, I get that charcoal has
only about 50% more energy per pound than wood pellets. Would not this also
apply to stick wood as well?

Fellow Stovers,
Turbulence is a goldilocks problem. It must be carefully balanced with well
controlled primary air amounts and distribution. Generally, I observe too
little consideration of the primary air system which can only lead to
sub-optimal results.

Crispin,
Even with the most cursory experience, it is very clear that a TLUD with a
variable speed fan will have a power range. The turn down from full on is
reasonable, if not as great as a modern gas stove in the privileged world.

Todd,
I find that a TLUD with a well tuned air/fuel mix, that also has good
turbulence in the mix, will produce little soot on pot bottoms. Proper
carburation of a turbulent fuel air mix makes for a cleaner burning TLUD.
Excessive soot build up is a good indication that the carburation and
Christa,
I have done that too. If the TLUD is very poorly tuned, you can get nasty
deposits from dry wood pellets. I have made some very nice creosote from wood
pellets with TLUDS that were operating at too low a temp and had a very poor
fuel air ratio with insufficient turbulence in the
of the compromise.
Is varnish a good conductor?

Friends,
I easily run a fan assisted TLUD that is loaded with grass tablets to make
wonderful grass biochar. The best tablets are made from a mix of field grasses
that include golden rod and milk weed as their saps make for good binders.
The tablets are about 4 cm in diameter. I break the

AJ,
I concur with what you write.
In my iCan ND TLUDs the primary air and draft are such that the pyrolysis self
extinguishes and the process does not convert to a run away updraft gasifier.
Perhaps this is a design goal? As for primary air, I start with too few and
too small holes such
