Here is a picture of the charcoal being made and apparently the typical cooker.
What if she could mix it with using the internal chimney burner Dean has developed?

IAP, deforestation, better fuel, better combustion, better heat transfer equals senergistic solutions that could be replicated in other areas. Haiti also is high visibility for solutions.
