[Stoves] K Smith Article in Energy for Sustainable Development

[Anand Karve]

Dear Stovers,
In September 2010, I was in Montana, U.S.A. They have ponderosa pines on the
mountainsides and I saw many forest fires.  I showed my host, how
to fabricate a charring kiln from a 200 litre barrel and demonstrated to him
how he can produce his own charcoal from the pine needles. We even
constructed a briquetting machine from an old meat mincer. Both the devices
were successful and my host took me around in his truck and we demonstrated
this technology to several of his friends. So it's not only Yoga and
meditation that the U.S. citizens learn from us Indians.
Yours
A.D.Karve
