I think the only way to get the sand badge is to go to Wheaton Labs for a SKIP event and complete it out there.  They host BB20 events every once in a while where anyone who's completed 20 BBs can come out for free for the week to work on more BBs.

I just registered for a class at a local Maker Space to learn how to build a portable rocket stove like this.

Would this fit into any of the BBs? It doesn't qualify as a J-tube, right?

(A portable rocket stove is a much better solution for the city dweller that I am. )
