BioChar Stove Building Workshop
on Saturday, April 28th from 10am to 2pm
at S.E.L.F. - Seattle Earth Lost and Foundry / Seattle Maker Space
4710 Ballard Ave. NW, Seattle, WA. 98107
(Located at the former Viking Fire Foundry)
We invite you to participate by building either the Estufa Finca Five
Gallon BioChar Farm Stoves pyroneered by Art Donnelly at Seachar.org
OR build a derivative design of the smaller Dome School Soup Can
Emergency / Camping / Tea Light Stove.
The Estufa Finca Stove is great for BBQing in your backyard WHILE
creating BioChar for your garden (if you choose to include the cooktop
and air base add-ons to your stove).
The Dome School stove is great for understanding the principles of
gasification and biochar creation while replacing traditional
expensive proprietary backpacking equipment.
Either stove is good to have around and know how to use in personal /
community emergency preparedness as well as building sustainable
solutions for our soil and environment.
If you are a Estufa Finca alumni we have started a Estufa Finca
BioChar Farm Stove Users Group to help bring users together and share
their stove use experiences.
If you are planning on taking the Estufa Finca stove design and
introducing it to other parts of the world we invite you to
participate by showing up early, help setup the workshop, and possibly
help other stove builders with the more tricky parts of the stove
build.
If you are interested in participating in the workshop please RSVP to

( top lit updraft) clean burning, fuel efficient, biochar producing
cook stove.

TLUD is the perfect camping/hand warming/ tea light version of our big
stove technology.

safe to use. You will NEED to bring [Preferably Pre-emptied and

Progresso Soup.

wastes. All materials and tooling for making this stove will be

already using a ESTUFA FINCA Farm Stove and just want a convert the

* Along with building stoves, we will be learning a little about
biochar and how to use it in the your garden and/or replace your
backyard BBQ.
* Bring a snack, a pair of gloves and if possible a pair of safety
glasses, and ear plugs. If you are planning on trying your stove after
the build, bring a cup and/or a pot to heat your food up in and
something to eat off of.
* Everyone will have a lot of fun, most people will go home with a
tested stove, and an expanded understanding of biochar. If you wish to
stay later, we will test out our new creations by cooking up whatever
is brought to share.
