These folks are Engineering students. What you're suggesting is a terrific idea...just for a different audience.
Yes we are engineering students looking to improve wood stove technology. We are familiar with some of the ins and outs of burning wood. We would love to speak on the phone with as many users as possible to answer some general questions we have for people who use wood stoves (what they enjoy, what they would change, and other similar type questions). Thanks to those of you who have given your inputs and private messaged me thus far willing to spend some time talking to us.
We have decided against a questionnaire at the moment because we believe a conversation would be more enlightening.
