How to Make Charcoal
Robert Flanagan, SAFFE, January 30, 2008
I've just been playing around with my natural draft stove to see how easy it would be to use it for cooking and making charcoal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZZDtXOiGLE .
I fed some extra fuel in the side so show the pyrolysis reaction taking place.

The author, Gary Gilmore, explains how he designed a charcoal retort from 55 gallon drums. This is a smoke free design also the flare could be put to use.

Biomass cooking stove burns wood to charcoal and saves the charcoal. One pound of wood cooks 6 kilos of rice and makes 65 grams of char.

Hybrid Stove Burning Bamboo Pan Cooking
See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIsNZHSkX8k
Here is another 3 min video of the Hybrid Stove burning bamboo chips and pan cooking eggs.
Bamboo chips burns well in the Side Supply Burner but the pan only reached medium heat.
The heat from the burner seems to be diffusing and bypassing the pan. Enough heat is being generated by the burner but the pan module lacks focus.
Suggestions to fix pan module?
