MAGH CM-II NATURAL DRAFT T-LUD WOODGAS STOVE
It's a simple updraft bio-char stove that can be used as a model for making your own bio-char unit. With modification you might be able to heat your hot water for washing or to warm your house and generate all the charcoal you need for your garden. Let's make producing bio-char take some of the Co2 emissions that we generate every day out of the bio loop. Seems insane to me to heat your house with natural gas then burn some wood to make Bio-char so you can add it to your garden. Or to put it another way spend the day making bio -char and that night and for the rest of the week barbecue with some of the charcoal you just got through making or worse yet buy some charcoal briquet's with hickory flavored smoke for cooking your dinner for the next week?
