Dear Friends
There is an interesting design for a stove available from http://www.freepatentsonline.com/2877759.pdf It is a stove designed by Albert J Giese of Denver Colorado in 1954 (patented 1955). It is remarkably 'modern' in that it has a pot skirt, preheated secondary air, a 'snuffer', and the ability to burn gel fuels, and it you leave out the fuel container, wood or charcoal or pellets. I understand that is packs into itself to a certain extent. It is probably much smaller than might be expected looking at the drawings. I think the fuel container is about 90mm in diameter. There are several design elements common to the ND-TLUD's, the POCA, the Peko Pe, Paul Olivier's fan+TLUD and the Envirofit (their charcoal stove). As people keep reinventing the same general layout, perhaps there are lessons from the past that we should not forget easily. Regards Crispin
