Greetings,

We will be holding a (Short Notice) BioChar Stove Building Workshop
on Tuesday, November 22nd from noon to 4pm
at S.E.L.F. - Seattle Earth Lost and Foundry, 4710 Ballard Ave. NW,
Seattle, Wa. 98107
(formally Viking Fire Foundry)

We and our Nickelsville EcoVillage volunteers will be building five
BioChar Farm Stoves for use in cooking and keeping warm over the
winter.
This is an initial step in our overall Nickelsville EcoVillage Kitchen
Project.

If you are interested in participating in this short notice workshop
please contact this Facebook page or email (see below). Your extra $25
donation will go to funding 1/3 of a cook stove that will built on
Tuesday (as well as coming away with a stove yourself). We are also
accepting your monetary donations to get these stoves (and eventually
hot water and BioChar kitchen facilities) in the hands of people who
can really use them during these cold months.

Sincerely,
Larry James

additional details below...

Join us on Nov. 22nd, 12pm - 4pm, at the Seattle Earth Lost and
Foundry (4710 Ballard Ave. NW, Seattle, Wa. 98107), for an afternoon
Stove Building Workshop. Learn a little about biochar and build a TLUD
( top lit updraft) clean burning, fuel efficient, biochar producing
cook stove.


* For a $25 donation build and take home a "Dome School Stove". This
mini-TLUD is the perfect backpackers/hand warming version of our big
stove technology.
* These elegant micro-gasifiers are, affordable, easy to build and
safe to use. You will need to bring [Preferably Pre-emptied and
washed] (4) tin cans for this stove: (1) 46oz. can [tomato juice], (1)
approx. 32 oz. [crushed tomatoes], (1) 18.5oz. Progresso soup, (1)
15oz. can [tomatoes]. The Progresso Soup Can being the most
necessary , we often have extras of everything else.

* For a $75 donation build and take home a five gallon "GARDEN MASTER
Stove". This gardener's version of our "ESTUFA FINCA" project stove,
makes clean heat and soil building biochar from your garden and yard
wastes. All materials for this stove will be provided.

* Along with building stoves, we will be learning a little about
biochar and how to use biochar in the your garden and/or backyard BBQ.

* This will also be an preliminary fund raiser for the "Nickelsville
EcoVillage Kitchen Project". Learn how clean burning, biochar-making
stoves can build opportunities for everyone, fight climate change and
improve lives.

* Bring a snack, a pair of gloves and if possible a pair of safety
glasses. If you are planning on trying our your stove after the build
bring a cup and/or a pot to heat your food up in.

* This a trimmed down version of our traditional afternoon workshop.
Everyone should have a lot of fun and most will be going home with a
tested stove and an definitely an expanded understanding of biochar.
If you wish to stay late, at the end the day we can test out our new
creations by cooking up whatever is brought to share with the rest of
the group.
