The smoke escapes through an airway chamber underneath the pots and up through the chimney. The smoke theoretically should be hot enough to warm all of the pots. This stove works great, although the third pot, closest to the chimney and furthest from the fire doesn't get quite as warm as we'd like. It eventually will boil water, but it takes awhile and usually the first two pots are already finished. It still saves a lot of wood, and cooks two pots of food at one time perfectly.<BR/><BR/>And about the leeches... They're not that too bad really. They were everywhere, there's nothing you can really do to prevent them. I tried wearing socks, but they bit through my socks.... they climbed up my pant legs. They're tiny, long, sort of worm-shaped. They attach themselves somehow and start sucking right away.... and as soon as they're full, they fall off. Really you don't even notice them unless you actually see them, and then it's creepy. To get them off, you have to scrape them off with a fingernail. It's hard to pull them off actually, they get stuck. I can't imagine they're actually dangerous at any point... they don't spread disease. They barely hurt... but I think they can secrete something that prevents your blood from clotting. I had one bite that wouldn't stop bleeding, but I just kept pressure on it for awhile and then it was fine. Nothing more serious than an ant bite. No itching. It's not as bad as it sounds, and the hike was worth a day of leeches. It's not like the leeches from Stand By Me like you might be imagining. It's not as bad as it might sound. And it makes a great story, eh? Getting attacked by leeches in the rainforest! ;-)Helenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18245944642614804650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125775817190381609.post-12650319198916390642008-05-22T15:33:00.000+03:002008-05-22T15:33:00.000+03:00Thanks for a taste of life elsewhere!<BR/>I'm curious to know about the stove in your photo; I am assuming it has different chambers to create the ability to have more than one cooking surface from the same amount of wood?<BR/>Am I close? <BR/>Those leeches are gross. How do they attach to you? How do you prevent this? How do you get rid of them? At what point are they dangerous?irathepiratehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08089964747468658688noreply@blogger.com
