We will be testing cooking stoves from around the world for: EMISSIONS using a Enerac 3000E, a hood described by Grant Ballard-Tremeer, and a nephalometer. EXPOSURE using a testing hut with HOBO CO monitors and Buck Personal Air Sampler for particulates. FUEL EFFICIENCY, FIREPOWER, TURNDOWN will be measured with the new Shell/UCB Water Boiling Test. Everyone is invited to bring their favorite stove!! Classes will be provided by Aprovecho staff. There will be time each day for discussion of results. I expect that we will generate information on the relative performance of downdraft stoves, sidefeed Rocket type stoves, the Vesto, charcoal making stoves, Tom's inverted downdraft stoves, etc. Let's put our minds together and figure out how to create a really clean burning, fuel efficient $10 stove!! Aprovecho is located 18 miles south of Eugene, Oregon and about 100 miles south of Portland. We have five rooms in the strawbale dormitory for guests ($25/night) and can offer four camping spots ($10/night) here as well. I can arrange very inexpensive lodging in a nearby Tibetan Buddhist monastery or there are lots of normal hotels in the area and State Parks with camping... The cost of the Stove Summer Camp is a sliding scale depending on your financial circumstances. COST: from $800 to FREE. Lunch costs $7 per day. Donuts and good strong organic coffee from Chiapas every morning free. I hope that several scholarships will become available. Please make reservations as soon as possible. There has been a lot of interest and we would like to limit the attendance to 25 people or so. I'll send you a map with local information, etc. Looking forward to seeing you! Let's invent together!
