Dear All,

Would you think it would be helpful if the Stoves List posed a "General Specification" for stoves?

1: PERMISSIBLE COST:
What is the maximum cost of the stove delivered to the "Customer", in $US equivalent?
What is the maximum allowable cost for installation?

2: COOKING TASK:
Boiling water? Stewing? Frying? Baking?

interested in blow and draft.

principle: "natural blow by natural draft"

Have a look to the page. It's in French, but there are pictures, simply to understand.
