Heya fellow Estufa Finca stove builders and users...

I documented my first solo stove build a long time back and ended up using the pictures set to help teach others to do the same over the past few years...

They've come in real handy in giving a overview of the various stove build steps and provide an easy to understand step by step instructions to have for workshop attendees...

I ended up getting the build instructions into a true printable book form in time for the
joint Antioch/SeaChar/ Pacific Bamboo Resources I led back in November 2012.

I uploaded (and shared) a stove build pdf for the Estufa Finca 5 gallon Farm Stove here.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/1qGmmo5VzqLvRcQXhsgPH2f7Q46Ts4chus-NzuK_MCqOhSaYKpdHNZIDkOAmh/edit?usp=sharing

the book is still a Alpha / Beta release
(a couple of spelling errors, a couple of missing photos, and lighting/user instructions).
if you are handy (and have the materials and tooling) you should be able to build a stove from the step by step instructions...

it's still very beneficial to actually attend a workshop
(especially if Art Donnelly is going to be there)
since so much material is covered
along with the comradely that is built by being around others that are making a positive change for our environment.

unfortunately workshops usually only happening in the Pacific North West or Costa Rica
so felt this being a much needed resource for the community if we want a wider adoption of this technology.

Art has a video on his youtube channel that goes into how to load, light, and use the Estufa Finca here...

since I don't cover lighting and using the stove in the workbook

Regards,

Larry James

P.S. I'm trying to move my BioChar related correspondence to BioCharStoveBuilder [at] gmail.com
from my personal account to better keep track of it...

Well done Larry,
We are offering two kits if we sell Estuffa Fincas we will link to your build book for each stove mailed as well as Arts video.
We also are wondering if we can use a 3rd of your photos to short cut our build book for our variation of the stove.
The  What fee would you request?
Steve
