	[RWL:   You are correct.  The value of biochar is (hopefully) coming down - as sellers are getting ridiculously high prices (like $1500/tonne - or in small quantities well over $2.00/kg - and often selling by cubic foot.)   The word is also getting out id developing countries.

	[RWL:   Andrew - don’t be in despair (replace “hope was … would..” with “hope is … will…”).   We will continue to hear plenty on moisture and end-of-run consumption  - and making money while one cooks.  Does anyone know of any other stove type where cooking costs can be negative?
