WorldStove's Beaner Campstove - First Burn

Nat Mulcahy, over at WorldStove, sent me a Beaner Campstove and a PupStove for Christmas. Ever since I received Nat's cool stoves I've been itching to give them a try. And today that's just what I'm going to do, at least with the Beaner Campstove. Both of these stoves are pyrolytic, multi-fuelled camping stoves, otherwise known as wood-gas stoves. In case you're not familiar with pyrolization it is," the process of thermally decomposing hydrocarbons in an oxygen poor or oxygen free environment. The products are char, ash, various gases, liquids and tars. Charcoal is made by pyrolization by heating wood in a low oxygen environment. Often, the heat is provided by partial combustion of the wood. The partial combustion drives much of the fuel content is driven off as smoke, and leaves behind charcoal. Pyrolizing wood stoves harness the energy content in the smoke by adding hot air to it and burning it thoroughly. The heat is used for cooking or heating. The resulting charcoal can be burned for other uses, or composted to improve soil quality and provide a way to sequester carbon long-term to help fight global warming." Todays' video is nothing elaborate, just the first burn of the Beaner Campstove. I just wanted to see what the flame pattern is like so I can make a pot stand for the Beaner Campstove. There will be more videos with labs upcoming.

Max thanks him too. And Thank you for watching my video, Hiram
