Yes, other then riveting it together at 85 degrees, works really good. Once the fire gets going hardly any smoke.

Have you put any biochar through your aquaponics system? I currently have a batch in a pillow case in mine. Probably leave it in there for a few days to charge.

I’ll build a small fire, then basically load as quickly as possible without too much smoke or smothering the fire. I can do a batch in about an hour.
