[Stoves] Making and Burning Charcoal in the TLUD / TChar

[Paul Anderson]

Dean and all,

You are right, this is great!!     Charcoal cooking in the second stage 
in a stove that makes charcoal out of dry biomass with clean combustion 
of gases created in the stove that makes gases from that dry biomass!!!

This variation of TLUD stoves is call TChar (tee-char), and is described 
in several documents at    www.drtlud.com

T is for TLUD, and Char is for charcoal stoves.   TChar combines these 
two stove types.

Everyone should please note that the upper parts of the TChar units 
create the charcoal, and lower part is actually a charcoal stove of some 
type.       The advocates of TLUD technology in cookstoves generally do 
NOT recommend that charcoal is burned inside of a regular TLUD, 
especially now that IMPROVED charcoal stoves can be used as the base in 
the TChar stoves.
There will be many developments coming with the TChar TLUDs, especially 
in cultures in Africa and Haiti and elsewhere where charcoal cooking is 
widely used.
