[Stoves] Very interesting Stove (Thailand?)

Paul,

I agree. I only surmise that they are not trying to make and Harvest Biochar. Otherwise I think they would have mentioned it.

Cheers,

It also will use less feedstock than a stove making Biochar. A version off this design that made Biochar is easy to imagine,  if the demand for such a unit develops.
