Dear Jonathan
>Even with the most cursory experience, it is very clear that a TLUD with a >variable speed fan will have a power range. The turn down from full on is >reasonable, if not as great as a modern gas stove in the privileged world. Agreed! Now, to get people to produce those in quantity and at a price people are willing to pay. A non-TLUD stove with a fan has the same range of power. A chimney stove can approach that level of variability but it is harder to control. Most TLUD’s are ND and cannot achieve a sustained variation in power – let’s say 4:1. It is a significant drawback if the cook wants a 6:1 turndown ratio. I can’t make them want to use more power all the time. Regards Crispin
