bulk density makes it difficult to transport. The low moisture of this biomass, and the dry climate of the Logone Valley, make it easy to store, even outside, without facing decomposition issues. Nevertheless the good energy performances achieved by the last model configuration allow using effectively such a poor fuel. The batch feed solution avoids a frequent refuelling likely to happen in continuous feed stove. This results in less drudgery and inconveniences for the user, due also to the reliable and userindependent operation of the stove.
