Dean and all,
You are right, this is great!! Charcoal cooking in the second stage
in a stove that makes charcoal out of dry biomass with clean combustion
of gases created in the stove that makes gases from that dry biomass!!!
This variation of TLUD stoves is call TChar (tee-char), and is described
in several documents at www.drtlud.com
T is for TLUD, and Char is for charcoal stoves. TChar combines these
two stove types.
Everyone should please note that the upper parts of the TChar units
create the charcoal, and lower part is actually a charcoal stove of some
type. The advocates of TLUD technology in cookstoves generally do
NOT recommend that charcoal is burned inside of a regular TLUD,
especially now that IMPROVED charcoal stoves can be used as the base in
the TChar stoves.
There will be many developments coming with the TChar TLUDs, especially
in cultures in Africa and Haiti and elsewhere where charcoal cooking is
widely used.

Hi Stovers:
We'll report soon on the results from the recent ARC/GIZ Stove Camp
2012 focused on charcoal stoves.
Christa Roth brought a TLUD that burned the wood and then burned up
the made charcoal.
So great that the TLUD can be used this way!
I imagine urban folks, who probably do not need bio-char, taking
advantage of this option.
I also like to use the TLUD this way. Burning the wood is for high
power and then burning the made charcoal is for low power simmering.
And then it's possible to get into the ISO Tier 4 category (over 45%
thermal efficiency) with a TLUD.
Best,
Dean
