Paul,
I will have more details about the burner in my 3rd video.
The burner is scalable. I use it in my 35 Gallon vat cooker.

See my comments about pots and cooking vessels designs below.

Lanny.
Thanks for the useful details. Please comment on #2
2. Question/request: Lanny, please provide more info about how your
design does not have primary air entering below and therefore does not
have a grate (if I understood correctly from the video). And how is the
created charcoal removed?
Paul
Paul thanks for your interest.
I am using a 40 qt “sauce pot” which is the same diameter as a 60 quart
“stock pot” so my stove will also heat a 60 qt pot.
Beyond 60 qt or liters I believe it is more practical to go with a
stainless “vat” instead of an aluminum pot. A vat captures heat very
well, I believe better than a pot and a vat can be easily be made in shop
for about the same cost or less than an aluminum pot which needs to be 6
mm or ¼” thick to be durable while 16 ga is plenty thick for a stainless
cooking vat.

My 35 gallon vat cooker cooks a 50 LB bag of rice with about 10 LB. of
wood (depending on how much credit is given to the remaining charcoal)
Since it uses fairly large pieces of wood the remaining charcoal is large
enough to be useable in a charcoal stove.

Many questions and comments, but just 2 here:
1. Comment: 40 quarts are essentially 40 liters. InStove has 60 liter
and 100 liter products. There are also 200 liter and larger
institutional stoves. How we as Stove designers address these size
issues will be a great discussion at Stove Camp (and on the Stove
Listserv.)
2. Question/request: Lanny, please provide more info about how your
design does not have primary air entering below and therefore does not
have a grate (if I understood correctly from the video). And how is
the created charcoal removed?
To all: THIS type of stove design and testing content is what the
Stoves Listserv is truly about.
Paul (Still in Uganda, so slightly out of time, but I will be at
Stove Camp with additional institutional stove content.)
