Many of these BBs are copied directly and housed in the PEP program so I'm going to say that I "believe" that style would count for the PEP batch box BBs depending on some of the minimum requirements listed in those BBs.

As for the PEM BBs, it would qualify for "Start and operate a wood stove or rocket mass heater for 1 hour".
