[Stoves] Advancement of "better" stoves

[Paul Olivier]

Crispin,

You wrote: *If you have some feedback from real gardens it will communicate
a lot. The viability of cooking while making char pivots on two things: the
conversion of fuel to char without increasing the raw fuel demand, and the
rate of positive return on char placed in the soil. The data that addresses
these issues is of great interest to me.*

If you are looking for more data on the benefits of incorporating biochar
into the soil, please take a look at this:

Thanks.
