[Stoves] brush fires

[kgharris]

Anand and All,

This is an impressive idea, processing the material on site and producing a 
usable char.  The char can then be used to make briquettes, perhaps even 
funneled into existing briquette making facilities.  Perhaps the quality 
would be good enough to use for making filters, carbon fibers, or other 
products.  It could also be sequestered on site by spreading it on the 
ground.  Transportation would be easier for the concentrated char than the 
loose or chipped brush.

Thank You Anand,

Kirk
