[Stoves] Briquete from paper

[Ron Larson]

Tufa etal

    There is a possibility that one might convert paper  to char in a 
pyrolyzing or gasifying stove that contains an inner (or outer) semi-sealed 
compartment acting as a retort.  I am thinking of just a thick rolled up 
cylinder of paper, with the pyrolysis gases being flared in the main 
pyrolysis or gasifying region.  This is known to work well with leaves and 
twigs - I don't see why not with paper.  The retort might just be a salvaged 
metal can.  The resultant char might work well as biochar - but also could 
be added to pellets or briquettes, to increase their energy content.
