[Stoves] Having correctlness in NAMES

[Paul Anderson]

To all,

Two messages below from the Stoves Listserv readers are of interest to 
the Biochar List readers.

I request from Andrew any links or other guidance to the mentioned 
specific open pit method of Jo(h)n Evelyn in 1862. (There are many 
general references found by searching with Google.)

historical aspects of making charcoal this way.
