Drying Frame 2nd Attempt

If you have been following this blog, you must have read that a couple of weeks ago we gave it a try wit the invention of a drying system in the General Hospital of Bukavu, to quickly get the moisture out of the fuel briquettes.

That first attempt proved to be a little bit weak, so we tried a new robust, stronger and healthier construction that can now hold up to 900 fuel briquettes.

When it rains, we are covering the whole structure with a huge silver plastic. But our aim is to build a greenhouse, that would accelerate even more the drying process. That is our next step.

  1. I love those drying racks. Way to go. But wouldn’t a “green house” hold alot of moisture and maybe make it hard for the briquettes to dry?
