Dear Vetle,
Yes, I do believe that any solution that can cut down on fuel use and
"waste" (such as is indicated -- "Every year over 200 ton of residual
waste are generated in parks and in the nature.") is a step in the right
direction.
This is a purely "distributed" solution as well. Every individual
action makes a difference -- and multiplied by thousands or millions, it
can make for a HUGE difference.
... And if you "portable natural draft barbecue that are using pellet as
fuel" were also to result in a small amount of Biochar as a "residual
product" and this biochar was placed in the soils of our home and city
gardens, this might even help to make our cities greener...

I Do think barbecues can help fighting the climate change. By adding
environmental friendly fuel also to the "every day" usage as barbecue
or heating, we all will contribute and show our support (the little we
can as private people) to fight the negative climate changes. In a
kind of fun way.
Not only to reduce the CO2 emissions, but also for the disposable
waste. Here in Norway, it´s a huge problem during the summer time when
people are using disposable barbecues and are just leaving them
behind. Every year over 200 ton of residual waste are generated in
parks and in the nature.
I´m working on a portable natural draft barbecue that are using pellet
as fuel. I see a lot of advantages, it´s: cheaper fuel, environment
friendly, no smoke, starts directly, not only for the meat and
vegetables but also to cook water for the potatoes and rice.
Barbecuing will for sure not give the enormous impact to make the
world less carbon negative, maybe not at all. But hey! Lets agree:
It´s better to do something... than nothing!?
