Magh CM-II natural draft woodgas stove http://e-maghcm-ii.blogspot.com/, it is a very low-cost stove for heating and generating charcoal. It can also be described as a mini-charcoal making metal kiln. Instead of incinerating biomass generated from home gardens / any other dry combustible material generated as household waste usually throw into the garbage bins, can be used here. The leaf litter, dry twigs / sticks, chips of wood, wood shavings, etc., are very much suitable.

Searching for an insertable insert stove
Ronald Hongsermeier, July 24, 2008

Tom Reed,

Welcome to Boiling Point number 55, which is now available to read on the website of the HEDON Household Energy Network. This issue of Boiling Point addresses the theme of "Monitoring and Evaluation" and as well as the usual great articles we've changed the format a little and introduced two new features - a case study and a toolkit.

Read it online here: www.hedon.info/BoilingPoint55-June2008

The journal is produced by Eco Ltd with financial and editorial support from Practical Action and GTZ. This issue is also kindly supported by GVEP International.

==SYNOPSIS==
The theme of this edition is the effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of household energy projects. While often neglected, M&E is a critical component of any project as it allows a practitioner to measure the success of an intervention, whether in technical, social, economic, environmental or political terms, so that they can learn from the indicator results to improve future work.

"FACTORS INFLUENCING COMMUNITY ADOPTION OF GOOD STOVES" is a paper written based on my experience and referring to literature.

28.06.2006
Today CEDESOL signed a contract with the GTZ for the first 1,000 improved stoves in their project titled “Stoves for a Better Life: Implementation of a Strategy using Ecological and Improved Stoves for Residences.”

In order to make my first batch of fireballs I needed some charcoal fines or dust. I charred some switchgrass and leaves to start with. That would be easy to reduce, but was unsure how to go about this task at hand. Having already removed the paddles from the cement mixer, I got the bright idea to place the switchgrass and leave char in the cement mixer plus one large rock, see picture #1. So I gave it a try, not knowing that there is such a device as a ball mill. I learned fast that a lid was in order! Dust cloud anyone? This worked well for the charred switchgrass.
