Paal, Dean,
...and burns free fuel, if I understand your point.
While we're imagining. Lets image a $200 dollar stove that heats a room
or rooms, with pellets, even when the power is out, and helps rural
folks, especially the elderly, stay in their homes. Lets imagine that
the profits, or a portion, go towards the greater stove needs elsewhere.
Poor is relative, and I'll make no comparisons, but cord wood, oil,
propane, electricity, are inappropriate or to costly for a growing
number of people in 'rich' countries.
Imagine, these two related goals; better, cleaner stoves, 'north and
south', temperate and tropical, could be linked.
Probably just a dream....

to imagine!

It's a good comparison, mass-produced cheap cell- phones and
mass-produced cheap stoves. The loss of profit on the product will
easy be covered by the operation with an agreement between
theproducer and the operator , price on minutes talking or price
of fuel for everyday clean cooking, . To cover a huge area by
mass-produced stoves you demands homogeneous fuel like pellets to
work properly all over. (See the other discussion about
gravity).Was that not what happen with the Ooria stove some times ago?
