Julien etal A cricket ball has a 7 cm diameter. I think we need balls closer to 1 or 2 cm diameter (same mass as pellet?). They only make sense if they are close to briquettes in price; cheaper than pellets. I haven't yet seen a way to do this, with low cost hand-operated equipment. For powered machines, I think pellets will be cheaper

We will have to give this a go, because I think it is the appropriate technology for our needs. It is something that can be afforded in rural Bangladesh, plus create some small village businesses, plus create stored fuel, plus increase cooking efficiency, plus save trees, and the biochar can assist recycling plant nutrients from waste into the household gardens. I like the idea of spherical briquettes so much that I almost ... ALMOST ... started a new topic on "The Art of Making Grass Cricket Balls" Cheers, Julien -- Julien Winter Cobourg, ON, CANADA _______________________________________________ Stoves mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site: http://stoves.bioenergylists.org/
