Dear Paul and All >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.
Is it not true that any really good charcoal making process is going to operate in pretty much the same manner? I look at Chris Adams' self-heating retort and it is very similar in the principles of operation, just that instead of cooking it is heating itself, which if you think about it, is what the WorldStove does while simultaneously cooking. And Adams charcoal kiln can be much larger than 200 litres (they all are) and it is possible to cook or heat water or do some process drying like fish or something, at the same time, if you really wanted to. Let's keep our options open.
