Dear Crispin,
I respectfully request proper and adequate documentation to support
your statement.
There is a company in Turkey called SILVER that makes TLUD stoves
and has been doing so since 1958.
I found something that might relate, but certainly does not
substantiate being TLUD combustion technology:

As the "unofficial self-appointed historian of all things TLUD", I
state that data is needed not only of what those stoves are actually
today, but what they were in the pre-1985 period.
We will gladly acknowledge prior-art (so far, nothing before 1985), or
truly independent development (as is the case with Paal Wendelbo's
Peko Pe), but only when the evidence is in hand.
We are all busy, and I do not expect a fully researched response
immediately, so in the mean time let's not propagate rumors or
incomplete analyses.
Note: The defining characteristic of the TLUD gasifiers is the
"migrating pyrolysis front" (could be called the MPZ), and not the
fact that some stove has upward moving air (most do) and the initial
fire is at the top of the fuel pile (as could be done in many common
stove devices, but with poor results on emissions).

done in December on one of them, not the smallest version. It peaks
three times at 24 kW during the burn. It behaves badly and needs
better secondary air which I found easy to add. They it was really
good. I think they had never had a test done before, certainly not
one with gases and PM. Lots of potential with small modifications.
So TLUD is not all that new I guess. It keeps getting rediscovered
because it is a good system at least for some applications.
