<div dir="ltr">Hi Kelpie,<br><br>I was going through some old emails and found your Green Your Head web site. On it there are three videos and in the second one there is a tin can version of the biochar stove (cooking soup and meat) similar to the one described in your brochure. My question: Are there plans for this version? It is different than the one described in your book. I also looked at other designs that are free to download but did not see it. <br><br>The difference, or at least one, is the slots on the side are cut vertically versus using a can opening (triangular) tool. The design seems to be different than the ones we have built based on your plans. Am I seeing that right? Are there plans for this model/type? <br><br>Thanks for all your resources.<br><br>Bruce "Still Interested in the Next BioChar Class" Stahlberg<br><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 25, 2014 at 1:28 PM, Kelpie Wilson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kelpiew@gmail.com" target="_blank">kelpiew@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Stove list,<br></div>Some of you might find this interesting.
