Crispin,
I did not put on a pot. I had only conducted this demo twice before
at my home as a proof to myself that with forced air it is possible to
keep the flame low and intense. I do not consider the Campstove to be
a serious contender about TLUD combustion of Jatropha seeds. But I am
quite convinced that a TLUD-FA (Forced Air or Fan Assisted) can in
short order handle the challenges of oil-seed fuels like Jatropha.
In my case, there is a serious shortage of Jatropha seeds as fuels,
and a shortage of time.
As others get into this effort, I will give them all the assistance
that I can.
J-seed TLUD stoves offer a great opportunity for those who step
forward. If interested, get started with either hands on work and/or
contact me. J-seed TLUDs will be a part of most BEF Stove Camps held
in Jatropha-producing areas.

Dear Tom
Thanks to Tom, Dr Tom and Dr Paul
Did you put a pot on it? I am interested in whether or not the flames
touched the pot more than usual. That has to be judged by someone who knows
the stove and other fuels well. If the fuel is oilier, will it make the
flames longer to the point that they run along the pot creating more CO?
It may be that a J-seed stove needs a different flame path length to get
great performance.

Burning Jatropha seed in a Tom Reed Woodgas Stove at ETHOS 2011. No
emergency vehicles were called and no adverse symptoms were recorded by
observers. Greatest danger was that the seeds "pop" occasionally.
Thanks to Paul Anderson for the demonstration.
