@cohenreyes1499 I appreciate the positive reinforcement :)

Yeah man this video is amazing. Definitely doing this method. Thank you for posting 🙏🏾🤞🏾

Hey! Thank you so much for demonstrating this method. Much appreciated.

Nice job.🎉

Hey great burn. I'm north of nashville and love everything charcoal, what part of the state are you?

the smaller stuff is pyrolyzed quickly anyway... if you care about getting good, full pyrolization without much ash, in an open pit, the key is to have batched of mostly uniform diameter of the same kind of wood... obviously you will get inconsistent results if you add batched of mixed diameter and different woods, breaking up smaller branches, to lower the oxygen's area of attack for actually burning because we dont want it to burn.

all about input output percentage, at some point it's just not economic to chop everything it up to equal size, especially if you have abundance of wood. unburnt pieces can be put aside and burned another time.

@@randytschupp9937 yeah, without a woodchipper i would not bother

Would have like to see you driving and sifting it and the finished product , its size and how you charged it up.

if you use such small diameter pieces in your later batches of wood, break them appart better so they cuddle closer and dont let oxygen penetrate as well, you got a very white pit at the end, much of that pinky diameter suff just turned into ash completely.

สวนที่บ้านผมก็ทำเหมือนกัน ต้นเงาะที่สวนมีกิ่งที่ตัดแต่งนำมาเผาได้จำนวนมากเลย

Hello!! Can you do a video on how you charge your Biochar? I am addicted to Biochar videos😍

Yes, it's on the to-do list!

Looks like a good solution for larger properties who need to clear out bigger area’s & a quick way to amass a reasonable return of biochar. I have several large heaps of wattle I cleared last year with a backhoe on a 40 acre property, I imagine I could just let the heaps burn down to a point and quench the fires out prematurely with my 1000 ltr fire fighter to obtain a similar result and aquire a heap of biochar this way for garden & agricultural use, pick out any large pieces that didn’t burn enough and put them on the next heap for a re-burn, does that sound reasonable?

That would definitely work - look up top lit burn piles as a way to maximize your char retention. I've got a video detailing a small top-lit burn pile here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqSsschwZ6jZYKQ.html We've since evolved and now light the entire perimeter and top of the pile at the same time - turns the pile into an oven that just bakes everything in the middle, and the burn goes very quickly and evenly. Good luck with your forest clearing and char making!

What were the dimensions of the cone pit?

About 1 shovel's length in diameter and about half the shovel's length in depth. Steepish sides but not so steep that it inhibits the fire breathing when it is still small at the bottom of the pit. I can measure exactly later of you remind me, but it doesn't need to be exact - once you start digging you'll know :) Good luck!

You're one step away from a wood gasifier. You're just wasting all the gas and making things really smoky in your immediate neighborhood. It'd be fun to make charcoal on the side by burning a small part of that wood in a small hot fire, directed at the rest of the wood in a chamber with a pipe running out of it. Heat up the chamber, and the wood in the oxygen-depleted chamber will emit flammable gas that will go out through the pipe. The used-up wood in the chamber will be charcoal. The gas in the pipe can be pumped into a propane tank. Gas for lighting, heating and engines. I think this is a great way to amend soil, but the method pollutes the air a lot.

Hi. I like your comment.I make 'biochar' (it is not baked in a non-oxygen environment) for briquettes using this method. But would really like to do what you are saying so that I can use the heat to dry the briquettes. Please can you draw a prototype design I can use? Much appreciated. Can send you my email if need be.

You are waiting to long. Allowing loss of char by turning it into ashes.... Woodash is very usefull also but as far i've understood you it wasn't the goal to make big amounts of woodash !??
