🌿 Join Us for a Hands-On Workshop on Making Biochar Cook Stoves with built in oven 🌿
🗓️ Date: Thursday 16th July 2026
⏰ Time: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Full address upon payment (10 to 15 mins walk from Leytonstone or Wanstead tube station)
🌿 Learn to Build Efficient, Eco-Friendly Cook Stoves That Also Make Biochar! 🌿
Come and spend a weekend learning how to create low-fuel, high-efficiency cook stoves that heat, cook, and help the environment. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast, permaculture practitioner, or simply curious, this workshop is for you!
🌟 What You'll Learn:
- What is Biochar? Discover the theory behind biochar, its amazing environmental benefits, and how it turns wood into pure carbon, sequestering it in the soil to create rich, fertile grounds for growing food.
- Build Biochar Burners: Using materials we have on hand, we'll construct several styles of biochar burners. You'll understand how they work, the simple science behind them, and why they're perfect for both cooking and the planet!
🌍 Why Biochar Cook Stoves are Revolutionary 🌍
Biochar cook stoves offer a win-win solution for both home cooking and environmental care:
- Efficient Heating: Uses far less wood than conventional stoves while generating 2 to 3 times the heat.
- Low Emissions: Burns wood gases (smoke), significantly reducing harmful particulates released into the atmosphere.
- Sequesters Carbon: The leftover biochar locks carbon into the soil, helping fight climate change.
- Soil Health: Biochar enriches the soil by improving its structure, retaining moisture, and fostering beneficial bacteria—leading to healthier plants and higher yields.
