Teddy that's a nice touch with the tree seeds, do you give a variety?

I skimmed the article and apart from saying a brick kiln was used  in
"efficient" charcoal production as opposed to the traditional methods
which  produced char with more Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons when burned
nowhere could I see how the "efficient" process was characterised, I
suspect the main factor is higher temperature, what else?
