Dear Stovers, Please check the following link to see our biomass stove UB fueled with jatropha seeds.

I frequently observed small explosions, presumably caused by overpressure within the seed, when the seed is heated. In addition, high oil contain causes the release of black carbon. The difference in the gasification temperature between jatropha oil and biomass makes the combustion is difficult to control. Kind regards M.
