Crispin, Ron et al,
In noticing the recent com about charcoal prices in different areas, I just
wanted to add that we do same for briquette project enquiries but have found
that its also necessary to add these other non economic questions, to get a
sense of the larger setting in which one wants to embed their project.
EG;
• What are local policies regulations which are conducive or unsupportive of
your planned project;
• Who else is in the area with like (complimentary or competitive)
technologies;
• What (at the risk if getting int Cecils area of expertise) are the local
perceptions about your product/ process ( cultural as well
as functional )
• What programs or projects are projected for the area, which will either help
or hinder your efforts and,
• What is your strategy for working either with, around, under or for these
activities.
best,
Richard Stanley

Crispin, adding "stoves"
Thanks.
Anything more on wood prices in town would be helpful. And for anything in
large quantities.
Any data on the main cooking fuels if not char? Propane, electricity, etc.
Much wood?
Looking to see the potential for making money while cooking.
