Dear stovers, Jean-Francois, bon jour à la France dAllemagne!
It is necessary to continue somehow the line you draw in your posting in that thread. We must consider that laziness (e.g. and especially in preparing fuel) will be our most useful helper in acceptance of a stove. We would best construct CO2 neutral-stoves even for use (and with acceptance) in lazy-advanced countries. The law of minimal resistance applied on humans is simply called laziness; and that is a law of (all the) nature. The conclusion is the need, to construct stoves which burn (mostly) un-split and un-chopped wood, -even when small wood would burns far easier. The stove has to get quickly and brightly to burn without work; even when it has to burn later-on big logs. The nearly unreachable laziness-model is a bottle-gas-stove. If we want to work with wood or something likely we will be forced to work with hybrid-stoves, if we want to create stoves for lazymen/lazywomen. - A T-LUD, started with a gas-torch is likely the same, without being the method of choice. Dealing with wood-like fuel we will have to think always about a fire-cascade to get a stove quickly started and without much splitting/Chopping-work. Dealing with different-shaped fuel/wood the stoves must be different; e.g. rockets, T-Luds, saw-dust-stoves, etc., but all hybrid-stoves to deal with laziness. Since some months I am thinking about fuel/wood-pre-warming to facilitate that fire-cascade . Some hand-held experiments by starting my space heating stove gave me courage to look further.
