There seem to be lots of different designs and some seem to burn waste eg husks and shells so think pine cones would be a great fuel. The Biochar Solution is really worth a read - the Lucia stoves make charcoal which can be an excellent soil improver or used to filter water - more here: http://ians-eco-blog.blogspot.com/2011/04/biochar-solution-by-albert-bates.html - great to get your own news - lots of love to you both Ian and Ruth xxxIan Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788914067702525430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36531304.post-47554134077286056652011-12-25T11:37:02.595+00:002011-12-25T11:37:02.595+00:00Hi Ian and Ruth,
All this sounds very interesting,...Hi Ian and Ruth,<br />All this sounds very interesting, and thanks for the link to Lucia stoves - great stuff. Have you followed it through further, eg what biomass would you use? From Lucia's Youtube video it seems you need it pelletised. Also he says the cost of his stove -excellent technology! - is related to the income of the country. Do you know the UK cost? Here in rural Portugal I can imagine these stoves would be ideal. I wonder if you could use pine cones and sticks?<br />Love to you both, Clive.cgbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318102017107841100noreply@blogger.com
