This applies to my present experiments.
I want to spend as little cash on the experiment as possible.
I have no present use for the heat.
If I just wanted the charcoal, I could care less about the smoke and 
possible extra GHGs I produce.
However, I want to get the device to flare off the smoke, because I want 
to be able to show it doing so, so that others, who might wish to 
emulate what I'm doing, on a small scale will also do the right thing. 
There is also the personal satisfaction inherent in doing this as 
elegantly as I presently can.
