| Dear Lanny
I also was intrigued to hear about it. I think we should get a little more detail on the method because my imagination is running wild.
It could be applied to just about all stoves of any size if the pot was not struck.

Alex,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I like the idea of using a swinging 40 lb sand bag for a bump test.

Institutional Biomass Cooking Stoves
Lanny,
Here are some related testing
standards. The residential heating stoves are tested for clearance to
combustible surfaces and the ability to withstand a swinging 40 lb sand
bag.
is there a UL standard for this or are you starting a new class of
appliance?

I need liability insurance for an institutional size wood
cooking stove that I would like to market in the USA as well as outside the

I need a list of stove hazards, problems and solutions for a
presentation to an insurance underwriter.
Is anyone else working on this? I have started a list and I
would appreciate your input and comments.

Hazards for Institutional Biomass Cooking Stoves
- Hot surfaces that can cause burns
- Cook space air pollution
- Tip over
- Bump spill not steady footing
- Hot handles
- Over fire run away fire, out of control fire (batch
burners)
- Hot coals spill out, roll out or puff out igniting
combustibles.
- Flame containment, not enough distance to
combustibles.
- Hot stove surfaces, not enough distance to
combustibles.
- Structural integrity, falls apart, burns up, door fails,
legs breaks off
- Sharp edges that can cut or scrape
- Sparks out the exhaust that could ignite combustibles
- Volume of fuel in a batch could be a factor. example 12
kg of wood in a wood space heater verses 1 kg of wood in a cook stove. 12
kg has the potential to do more harm than 1 kg.
- Pot spill from difficult access. Like lifting a pot from
a sunken pot stove.
