Yeah with this one I just lay the logs & branches diagonally & then nudge them in as they burn down.
The other benefit is that you can burn newly cut branches & leaves without smoking out your neighbours. Once it's going, the radiating heat vaporises the water in the leaves & gets that clean burn.
You are right.
This burn for being open didn’t not produce that much smoke. 😂The quality of the char is definitely not commercial, but I have been using it for years with excellent results.
I messed around with TLUDs and crap for a couple of years. Far too time consuming & labour intensive to prepare all the materials. The charcoal from an open burn is excellent as an amendment.
This design I copied from a Bitcoiner with a permie background. It's better than anything I'd tried previously.
He burns green bamboo in his & them runs it through a shredder to get the particle size down. He sells the char for sats/cash & the structure of the bamboo produces really nice garden charcoal.
I just burn my brown waste (I have lots of eucalyptus) & get the charcoal as a by product.
thanks for the thread gents, learned a lot
