Ignore if not of interest. It is mainly about biochar, but it
relates to char-producing stoves AND to the Stove Camp at Aprovecho
on 15 - 19 August, an event that some of you could be attending. <br>
<br>
Information about all of the events in Oregon this August is at
<a href="http://www.drtlud.com/oregon-events-august-2016/" target="_blank">http://www.drtlud.com/oregon-events-august-2016/</a> <br>
<br>
Please do NOT discuss biochar issues at this Stoves Listserv. This
is a one-time notice.<br>

Gathering" on 19 - 20 August at Aprovecho (he arrives one day
earlier during the Stove Camp). Attendees of the Char
Production Gathering will have the opportunity to participate in
discussions and hands-on experiments with Dr. Taylor regarding
