Sawdust should be a perfect ingredient (with other ingredients). See reports these balls from Bangladesh by Julien Winter.

Possibly can achieve lower costs if she uses char-making stoves.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I found more at: <a href="https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/corporate/enterprise/Trader-discovers-recipe-for-success-in-affordable-food/4003126-4955576-sipkpt/index.html" class="">https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/corporate/enterprise/Trader-discovers-recipe-for-success-in-affordable-food/4003126-4955576-sipkpt/index.html</a></div><div class="">And </div><div class=""><a href="https://agrf.org/zt_team/khadija-mohamed-churchill/" class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>https://agrf.org/zt_team/khadija-mohamed-churchill/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Nice program!.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Big enough operation she probably has some quite large cook pots. Seems not appropriate for mainly solar cooking as she wants to cook at night. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> She could have zero costs for cooking if she can change from using biogas to using wood and is interested in helping the farmer suppliers with biochar. Will be a bit more than your $10 stove but 55 gallon used oil drums might be about right for the size cockpots I’m thinking she might have. Most users of that size char-making are not now using the pyrolysis gases. Her operation sounds perfect.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I add Kevin as a cc as he will be attending the big Nairobi stove conference next month. Anyone else? This “Kwanza” operation needs to be replicated many places.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Ron</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 16, 2019, at 5:01 AM, Cookswell Jikos <<a href="mailto:cookswelljikos@gmail.com" class="">cookswelljikos@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">A very interesting short video on a very clever company that's started up in Kenya </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaJNe0im-eM" class="">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaJNe0im-eM</a> </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Any suggestions for better sawdust burning stoves sub 10$ that could be locally made? </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best, </div><div class=""><br class="">Teddy</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> <br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
