I also hope that they will learn to accept charcoal briquettes as well and I hope that the government will do something about it.

I have shipped close to 30 tons of briquettes in large a small/puck configurations to Haiti. I flew in to see how the "tests" were going. I was not encouraged as it is difficult to use just a part a couple pucks to try and cook with in family setting. Commercially in the laundries and bakeries they would work fine. To date it is very difficult to try and motivate from traditional methods. AND there is the issue of moisture and storage. We are changing production to pellets for export so maybe my next endeavor will be the implementation of the more efficient stove. Les I am a briquette producer in the US.

"Hmmm, what a conceptual move", I thought, trying to guess if it was the 21st century's media marketing "stand-out to be noticed" requirement that made your development oriented website transform so drastically...:) However, the doubt was always there and I eventually had to bookmark your page to be sure that I am at the right address! Continue your outstanding work and all the luck in 2012! :) , Kim,
