Today we are making another 2 cubit yards of #biochar from construction waste. There barrels are 4 foot wide and 4 foot high. We start the fire at the bottom, and add wood over the next 10 hours. This is great fun when friends and family join for a great time...

Wow, it sounds like a great time! Just make sure to keep an eye on those flames -- we wouldn't want to give the neighbors any reason to call the fire department. Plus, you wouldn't want your DIY biochar kiln turning into an unintentional barbecue pit!

Our nearest neighbour is 1 mile away. He joined hast time...

Fill start fire from top, continue as you are and you'll get better results.

So you mean I should fill it up to start? And the burn it from the top and add move to keep the heat on? I feel that will be difficult because all we are adding is dimensional lumber that stacks to tight.

I start with a 2 foot tall piramid at the bottom now.

Awesome stuff man!
