Dear Gajin and all,
When you make much large volumes of biochar, the amount of heat will
generally be far excessive for any cookstove application.
Therefore, either waste the heat or find some other application. And
often the large applications (even water heating or drying) are more
expensive to build than the biochar maker. Tough choices.
Are your associates willing to waste the heat? and what is the supply
of dry biomass?
I agree with the comment by the NGO Miombo, 200 liter barrels are
currently about as large as is convenient unless money and
experimentation are available.
I hope more people make comments. Be sure to check the biochar
websites for ideas that are not closely linked to stoves.

Subject: [Stoves] Looking for a stove designed for larger amounts of
biochar
Dear stovers,
so far I have been mostly
just following your discussions as to learn as much as I could, now I
would like to ask you for advice. I hope it is OK by you.
Just
a few words of introduction: I am a journalist, marketer and
entrepreneur. This year I have brought the TLUD Champion stoves from
India to Slovenia and started introducing them as well the whole idea of
biochar to Slovenian farmers and gardeners through my blog, articles and
presentations. A few weeks ago I had a presentation of permaculture,
biochar and the TLUD Champion stove to members of biodynamic society Ajda
Goriška; they were very interested in the whole idea, eager to try
it out, but they all have larger areas of land so biochar, made by a
small TLUD Biochar stove just is not big enough for them ... We were
discussing to make a big stove and produce enough biochar for all of them
and then imply the activated biochar to their fields. I am searching
through the net to find plans for a larger stove, I have already seen
some we could try out and we could make ourselves, but would also be very
grateful for any ideas and advice! The ideal stove would not only produce
biochar but could be used for cooking on as well.
Kind
regards,
Bojca
