Very nice, not just burnt on the ground but in a container?

I am currently sourcing a 42 gallon drum top

What do you mean? Burning on the top?

I have a clean barrel with a welded/pinched top, i need to find a new lid that i can clamp down to create the anaerobic environment, otherwise its just a burn barrel.

Ahh gotcha.

42 gallons isn't very large scale, are you adding multiple drums?

Well the last time i made bio char was in a 1 gallon bucket for black powder.

Please tell me how someone of your stature achieve such a feat.

Lol I'm not saying I know how to do it large scale, I'm assuming you're gun a do the barrel within a barrel method?

The real large scale is the ring of fore method. But I am also going to try to do it on my slash piles and squelch with a trash pump I just bought.

I guess large is relative, for a garden 55gallons is a lot. For pasture, I need tons like nunya was discussing

Db is smaller scale compared to myself.

Well noe i am going to look at the barrel inside a barrel cause that should be easier to use. I unfortunately don’t have enough and to call it “pasture”

Thanks for the info and the point in the right direction.
