How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the reactor inner diameter and fuel chamber height in cm.
  2. Set fuel bulk density and your target cooking power in kW.
  3. The calculator returns estimated thermal output, burn duration, fuel load per batch, biochar yield, and required air inlet areas.
  4. Compare estimated thermal output to your target; adjust reactor diameter if needed.
  5. Use the primary and secondary air areas to size inlet holes during construction.
