Thanks to John Davies and Rogerio Miranda for their observations about the
Probec and ARECOP conferences, respectively.

John's coal gasifier stove can be seen on the Stoves pages. Look under New
> Combustion Chambers for "Gasifier Coal Stove John Davies South Africa
April 2003"

Kobus Venter has provided flame pictures of charcoal combustion in his
prototype charcoal stove. Find the link to his page below John's.

We've also added links to some of the papers from the ARECOP/Cebu
conference on the Stoves, Country, and Dissemination pages. You will see
the significance of Rogerio's comments as you read the papers from
Cambodia, Laos and Nepal.

Web browsers viewed more than 12,000 stoves pages on REPP/CREST during
March. About 8,200 views were to the Stoves web pages. The remainder were
to current and past stoves archives. A reminder that the stove discussion
archives are now on the web at
http://listserv.repp.org/archives/stoves.html

It's a full time job to keep up with our stovers.
Sjoerd Nienhuys has provided his Research Report on BACIP Wood Stoves for High Mountain Areas, Pakistan
Ken Goyer writes about fuel use in El Salvador in Thinking About Wood
Damon Ogle gives us more tips about insulating firebrick in his
Using Pumice to Make Lightweight Ceramics in El Salvador
Dean Still has added notes to Aprovecho's Making Insulative Clay Combustion Chambers
Dean has provided us with an earlier paper on The Effect of Material Choice on the Combustion Chamber of a Rocket Cooking Stove
We look forward to presenting pictures and a description of a charcoal stove Kobus Venter is developing for Southern Africa. And John Davies is developing a new coal stove. We still look forward to reports from the Probec meeting in South Africa and the Asian (ARECOP) meeting in the Phillipines.
