[Stoves] The Art of Using Grass BRIQUETTES in TLUD Stoves

A cricket ball has a 7 cm diameter. I think we need balls closer to 1 or 2 cm diameter (same mass as pellet?). They only make sense if they are close to briquettes in price; cheaper than pellets. I haven't yet seen a way to do this, with low cost hand-operated equipment. For powered machines, I think pellets will be cheaper

Hi Stovers; 

Thanks for your encouragement to use briquettes. We will have to give 
this a go, because I think it is the appropriate technology for our 
needs. It is something that can be afforded in rural Bangladesh, plus 
create some small village businesses, plus create stored fuel, plus 
increase cooking efficiency, plus save trees, and the biochar can 
assist recycling plant nutrients from waste into the household 
gardens. 

I like the idea of spherical briquettes so much that I almost ... 
ALMOST ... started a new topic on "The Art of Making Grass Cricket 
Balls" 

Cheers, 
Julien
