Ed,

Thanks for your valuable comments about TLUD usage. I hope others reply with more TLUD stories, so I have added the Stoves Listserv to receive this message and yours below.

You added a fan to the other units. Please consider fan assistance in the TLUD indoors. And perhaps an exhaust fan in the hood for those moment of changing the TLUD / refilling. And if you allow for using prepared pellets as fuels, I think you might be able to use it indoors WITH a hood or with a chimney on the stove body. We are looking for solutions for bringing TLUDs indoors with chimneys.

Where are you located? Climate / weather certainly can impact usage. And please tell more about TLUD usage outdoors.

Paul

Nando, are you looking for the word 'phytotoxins'?

Su Ba, I too have generated most of my domestic heat from biochar stoves for the past few years. I hate to see all that heat wasted, fuel costs are going up and I would rather keep a constant trickle of biochar going into the fields and ensure that biochar can truly be part of the transition from fossil fuel dependence.

Tlud stoves are great for outdoor use when the weather is fine but we get a lot of rain here and it can be cold in winter. I have used tluds under hot plates, ovens and water heaters and find that they are not usually suited to indoor use (i.e. attached to a flue pipe) as they need removing to be filled, lit and emptied.

Do you do all your cooking out doors?

Has anybody else managed to adapt tluds for easy, smokeless indoor use (attached to a flue)?

Although they are more complicated to make than tluds, I have hybridised rocket and anila stoves and added forced air (a computer fan) to build a stove which can be filled and emptied through hatches and which is lit from the front and so does not need moving to fill, light or empty it.

I have a couple of horses and use the biochar on the stable floor before using it. This ensures that it gets crushed fairly well without dust and has many benefits.
