[Stoves] Magh Smoke Burner Stove

[Tom Miles]

Part of the fixed carbon in the fuel is undoubtedly consumed during
gasification. What is the carbon conversion efficiency of the TLUD? Has
anyone compared the actual amount of char produced in a TLUD with the amount
of char that would be produced if only the volatiles were burned?

The above refers to TLUDs.  And IF the use is ONLY for the pyrolysis gases,
there is no reason to put the charcoal back into the next batch of wood 
because
there are no sources of pyrolysis gases in that char.
