all this talk of cleaner burning stoves using charcoal vs burning wood<br />instead to eliminate charcoal production might be avoided if somehow<br />the charcoal makers can be encouraged to make charcoal retorts that<br />utilise the offgassing flammables to fire kilns, ovens or industrial<br />processes, then on-sell the charcoal.<br /><br />either way the wood is going to get burnt. might as well improve the <br />efficiency of utilisation, or put an other way, the footprint.<br /><br />all we have to worry about then is Jevons paradox......<br /><br />my 2c worth<br /><br />Erich Heinzle<br /></body></html>
