Dear Muzungu Wycliff,

Presumably you are with Wyclif bible translators ??
  Then I'm just curious as to how you missed the proper spelling of european or more generally, white man in Kiswahili. 
You are an Mzungu, not an muzungu.

Wako wa umtumishi,

Dear Stovers and Biochar,
In 1999 or there about, I had the opportunity to work on the development of charcoal production from coconut waste in Mombasa Kenya. We used coconut husks, coir was very expensive and was being used to make some products like door marts and such.
 
I developed a process for producing charcoal from coconut husks and also briquetting them. I developed a retort that was running on some of the coconut husks to generate heat that is then used to heat the other coconut husks for charcoal production. The retort attained very high temperatures.
 
I even wrote a report on the process.
Thank you,
Musungu Wycliffe.
