Tom,
No I haven't built a Kon Tiki, though have good contact with someone who
operates one in Tasmania and who has nothing but praise for it. I would
agree with your observations though. I have operated simple cones and
also crude updraft 200 litre drum units I built in the late 90's which
subsequently produced several tonnes of high quality char from both
hardwood and softwood for a steel industry project.
Actually on reflection these drums are the simplest to build of all,
will go through my archives when I get home and see if I can pull some
photo's. (I seem to be spending my time in the cabin of a truck lately...)

Peter,
Have you built and operated a Kon Tiki? It looks a lot more
complicated to build than the cone kiln by Dr. Ogawa or the Pyramid
kiln by Kelpie Wilson. I have seen no evidence that he charcoal is any
better with the kon tiki than the other two.
I have two cone kilns that work fine.
