Hi James,

When I gasify newspaper fireballs I end up with biochar.
See picture 6, 7 & 8:

Same thing with the Gas-of-Fire.

A few years ago I talk (e-mailed) with somebody from Africa that had a 
carbonizer and he said that it worked if the paper was set on end. Kind of 
like a teepee. The machine was on the Gasification Page but I was not able to 
find it.
