The clean cookstove making biochar can be a life saving device as it can help people cook their food and produce their clean water while waiting for the relief aids. It should also be one that can be used with wood sticks as most people do not have access to pelletizing or briquetting machines and wood sticks are abundant after the typhoons. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I am almost describing my own holey roket stove that makes bio char however, my model is too heavy, brittle and will take a month before it is ready for use. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Going further, the bio char can also be used to reduce the diseases from the evacuation center.
