Two messages below from the Stoves Listserv readers are of interest
to the Biochar List readers.<br>
<br>
I request from Andrew any links or other guidance to the mentioned
specific open pit method of Jo(h)n Evelyn in 1862. (There are many
general references found by searching with Google.)<br>

It will be interesting to see if the "flame cap" nomenclature was
anticipated in those early writings. I assume that Kelpie (and
others) will be looking into this and eventually sending us some
comments on the historical aspects of making charcoal this way.<br>

I won't comment on what names are chosen but agree about the acronyms,
in the old days papers were manually typed and littered with Three
Letter Acronyms but often the first reference was expanded. In these
days of "find and replace" I don't see any particular need for the
abbreviation.
BTW (By The Way) although Flame Cap may be a modern term Jon Evelyn
wrote about open pit burning for charcoal making in 1682 and I used
the same method but in an open ring kiln in the 1990s, I described it
in an early post here, the char produced was a bit "grey" for sale as
barbecue fuel but ideal for biochar and preferable to burning "lop and
top" to waste, which was a requirement on some forestry estates..
