Dear Paul and All

>I agree with the comment by the NGO Miombo, 200 liter barrels are currently
about as large as is convenient unless money and experimentation are
available.

Is it not true that any really good charcoal making process is going to
operate in pretty much the same manner? I look at Chris Adams' self-heating
retort and it is very similar in the principles of operation, just that
instead of cooking it is heating itself, which if you think about it, is
what the WorldStove does while simultaneously cooking.

And Adams charcoal kiln can be much larger than 200 litres (they all are)
and it is possible to cook or heat water or do some process drying like fish
or something, at the same time, if you really wanted to.

Let's keep our options open. 

Regards
Crispin
