[Terrapreta] Strong warning against "simple" charcoal kilns

[MFH]

I'm struggling to understand why "millions" of back-yard simple kilns
producing char to be buried in gardens aren't better than not having any at
all. More particularly if they are consuming household scraps and garbage
that would otherwise find its way to landfill.

Sit on our hands and wait for big business to develop squillion dollar char
factories, or do something positive at a personal level?

Hi folkes,

Hands up all those who have "Strongly warned" against Folkes simple kiln 
concept, who are NOT working on developing a sophisticated highly 
efficient pyrolises system with the idea of marketing it to the world to 
make the gigatons of bio-char we will need to reverse GW.

Anybody???

Kurt
