[Stoves] corn cobs and char?

[Josh Kearns]

What kind of data? We have used corn cobs in a 55-gal TLUD for making water
filter char.....

Cobs don't have a lot of energy-density, so they are not great for cooking.
Plus they are a little too big to work well in most TLUD cookstoves, which
need finer-grained feedstocks (e.g. pellets).
