You know Richard, that 15% is pretty reasonable considering the production
overheads involved in the charcoal business which thrives all over the show.

 

Thanks for the number.

...But here are some numbers to banter around for comparisons sake: 

The 12 to 15 (150 gram, hollow core, wet process biomass briquettes made by
any of the 20 odd hand presses out in circulation now, --even with a good 5
to 8 kw hammer mill to speed up material preparation--- will  cost the
family of say five persons, about 15% of the briquette producer's daily
wage.
