[Stoves] Ceramic ND TLUD for biochar

[Tom Miles]

Crispin,

 

Good suggestion. It looks like mangroves range from 4000-6000 MJ/kg.

 

It makes sense to make charcoal in a TLUD/flame cap style device for smoking
fish. It should make enough charcoal to use for cooking or as biochar. Using
the slash would make a nice contribution to village energy including food
security and household energy. 

 

Thanks  

 

Tom

Dear Tom

 

That is one of the options for providing continuous steady heat for fish
smoking. It is possible to make a brick chamber that will do exactly that.
If there is a good reason to do it (desire locally for the char) it is a
possibility.

 

As one of the source fuels is mangrove (low energy) do you have any idea of
the heat content of charcoal made from mangrove wood? It would be a good use
of the slash.

 

Thanks
Crispin

 

 

 

Before we went up to ETHOS I had a request to look for a ceramic, natural
draft , TLUD that would make biochar. I don't remember seeing one at ETHOS
and I don't see one in the GACC Clean Cookstove Catalog
http://catalog.cleancookstoves.org/pages/guide

 

Is anyone working on such a device?

 

Thanks

 

Tom
