[Stoves] Draw out moisture with charcoal

[Max Turunen]

Charcoal is amazingly handy thing... and it's many uses are currently new
to most of us... many handy things to find out and notice :)

(Could charcoal be used to make various ceramic objects... shaped porous
charcoal... let finest grained wet clay silt seep in and permeate it...
then re-owen it... would that be possible ? would such "carbon fiber
porous" objects me useful for some purpose ? would they be flammable ?
electricity insulating ?    or would just be better to take lump of
charcoal and suck selected wild mushroom species spores to it... tens of
mushrooms species per lump... and then have different mycelial spore
mixtures readily available, to spore containing charcoal lump needing to be
just stomped broken where it's selected local mycelia strains could be
needed ? Different mixtures of bioremediating oilspill cleanup sawdusts...
or for decomposing old wood materials... or for kitchen food garden... or
for greenhouses... )
