Dear Richard

 

Cecil Cook's survey of charcoal mass through the production chain in
Mozambique found 50% of the charcoal produced disappeared before it reached
the stove.

 

Transport distance is a significant variable, I understand.

Crispin,

 

Especially when we an happily use all the crumbs and fines associated with
charcoal selling ( it approaches 20% of total volume received at the sellers
stalls). That makes a charcoal based blend which will generally run up
against and often surpass any lump charcoal of equal volume. 

 

Proof of pudding is in local selling prices: the charcoal blended briquette
usually sells for 1.5 to 2 x  that of the regular ag residue blends...

 

What greater real measure of its value can there be than that ?

 

Richard
