Hi Ron,
Yes, that is basically it. Our lives are complicated enough. Hands off,
simple, cheap, self regulating processes that work, intrigue me.
Non sequitur alert!
A few years ago I built a ram pump
http://www.clemson.edu/irrig/equip/ram.htm
just for the joy of watching it work. That and the vain hope of pumping
water to the back pasture.
Here's another one, somebody somewhere else could use this concept.

It's not 'stoves' but moving water, like firewood, is another one of
those burdens that recieves attention from the development crowd.
Cancel Alert!
When we use processed fuels we delegate some one else to struggle with
the "complicated" difficult tasks of making our lives 'simple'. Hense
the appeal of the Peko Pe.
I have access to inexpensive dryish chips which would be a handy
alternative to pellets if they can be tamed. The downdraft gasifier
people using large powered pressure drops can do it. Indeed, where is
the natural draft model?

Dear Alex,
I really like this. It may be at least part of a solution to the
problem that I originally joined the stoves list for several years back.
My assumptions:
only natural draft
passive feeding/gravity
no draft control other than pipe diameter limits
true/false?
regards,

P.S. I constructed something a bit like this to vent hot, wet air from
my clothes dryer to the outside without boring any holes through my
rental apartment's walls. I built it to press fit into the
German-style tilt-from-bottom-hinge/open-as-door window. It served
well until the dryer gave up the ghost and was replaced by a
dehumidification type dryer.
