I am looking for stove performance data for institutional size charcoal and
wood fired stoves, even if the testing methods are not perfect.
I can find information like "saves 50%" but I cant find data like it takes x
amount of wood or charcoal to boil x amount of water, or x amount of fuel to
cook and simmer beans.
I am especially interested the Prakti stoves so some data on these stove would
be helpful.
There is one subject that I have not seen discussed on this list and that is
the "specific heat capacity" of the different types of food being cooked.
The specific heat of beans and rice is about 1/3 that of water. That is the
reason my stove, with its retained heat capabilities, can cook and simmer 35
KG of beans for 2 hours with about the same amount of fuel that it takes to
simply boil 35 Kg of water.
I apologize if I have just made the stove testing spreadsheet even more
complicated than it already is!!
