Dear Dean

 

That is interesting. I have not seen on of those igniters. I have seen
others but there are more like BBQ lighters.

 

The Korean multi-hole briquette burner came with tongs to set the bqs in
such a way that air was able to pass vertically through a stack of them -
three high. It was top-lit but didn't have particularly good upper
combustion giving a very consistent CO/CO2 ratio of 3.8%.

 

It did have enough draft to work properly, but extracted too much heat from
the heat exchanger/pipes and suffered a lot from condensation and corrosion
problems. About 10,000 were given away by the company that sold fuel. The PM
was very low.

Dear Crispin,

 

In a honey combed briquette there are many holes. The electric lighter has
elements in each of the holes and the briquette lights without making smoke.
I'll bring one to ETHOS and show folks a coal stove burning without making
smoke.

 

Great to hear your innovations!

 

Best,

 

Dean
