The char can be made into high quality briquettes with just a small plastic pipe. So all farmers can make good profit making and selling briquettes. Here is a summary of the pipe method: https://bit.ly/BriquettesInstructions.

62 percent of global charcoal is produced in Africa, mostly from forests. And charcoal production in Africa is growing because of increasing urban populations. Very little charcoal is produced sustainably. Charcoal production is a main driver of deforestation in Africa. Deforestation in Africa is happening at four times the global rate with 40,000 square kilometers lost each year.

"We now have an incredible opportunity to end the production and use of charcoal in Africa," says Kevin McLean, the president of Sun24. "Smallholder farmers can easily be trained on the top down burn method. They can make free char with very little extra work. And they can earn extra income making briquettes from the char and selling the briquettes. While farmers are making money selling briquettes to replace charcoal, they will be greatly reducing climate damage, deforestation and air pollution. Let's put an end to the filthy production of charcoal in Africa."
