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.
