[Stoves] What do we know about kiln technology? Want to find out?

[Cookswell Jikos]

Thanks Crispin - seems some people want to turn all that bush into pellets

Interesting point on past cattle management causing current issues...I must
say though - I do wish for the day Kenya had something as helpful as the
Namibian Biomass Industry group https://www.n-big.org/ to help to lobby for
more sensible woodfuel value chains in Kenya!

Best,


Teddy Kinyanjui
Sustainability Director
