Hi Kelpie,
I was going through some old emails and found your Green Your Head web
site. On it there are three videos and in the second one there is a tin
can version of the biochar stove (cooking soup and meat) similar to the one
described in your brochure. My question: Are there plans for this
version? It is different than the one described in your book. I also
looked at other designs that are free to download but did not see it.
The difference, or at least one, is the slots on the side are cut
vertically versus using a can opening (triangular) tool. The design seems
to be different than the ones we have built based on your plans. Am I
seeing that right? Are there plans for this model/type?
Thanks for all your resources.
