The type of wood is not really a factor because everything other than the carbon structure should be burned off through pyrolysis. I would only be concerned with chemical contamination because heavy metals will remain.

If you handle charcoal briquettes, you will likely need soap to clean your hands. If you handle biochar, your hands will just wipe clean because all sticky volatile compounds have been burned off.

Biochar can be eaten and will help pull toxins out of your body. I will have some available for my livestock to eat free choice. They instinctively will eat it as needed.

I remember seeing a video on living web farms you tube channel where the guy makes char out of roadkill. When he pulls it out, it looks just like it did going in, but it is black and easily breaks. He takes a bite of it to show you can eat it. 😂

I will put this in my compost and eventually the garden. The tiny spaces inside the char gives soil microbes a place to live. It absorbs 7 times its weight in water and will last 1000+ years in the soil. So many more benefits than these couple I listed

What are you thinking for a project. I love building out of scrap.

My grandpa had added a shelf inside the shell of a dryer and had it in the garage/ shop.

I thought about painting the shell black to use as a dehydrator, but I'm going with a different design.

Nice. I have not tried that one, I'll have to try to find some.

Nice scythe, I have one from the same company.

I imagine with a good bed of coals in that thing, it would burn almost anything.

Do you have an infrared thermometer? I would be curious how hot you could get it.

I like autumn olive and staghorn sumac. I never need to plant either one where I am.

The autumn olive berries are great, it fixes nitrogen, and takes abuse. I have been planting small trees in these bushes for shelter. I can prune autumn olive heavily to release nitrogen and let in more light. It just bounces back

I like staghorn sumac mostly for its look. I think I will start planting more trees among the sumacs. Sumac-aid made from the 'berries' is a good lemony drink

Here is a picture of staghorn sumac. The leaves turn very bright red in the fall.

Nice biochar kiln. I may make one at some point, but the pit method works pretty well too. I'm not too worried about getting less biochar, wood is abundant here. This was a quick and easy approach. I still have a large amount of char.

If I wasn't burning wood that was 7-10 feet in length, I would have tried a dryer drum set on the ground to plug the holes. It works as a great burn barrel when off the ground. I like to build things out of pallets and bedframes, so when I have a pile of scraps this burns it up fast.

That is one of the best highs

Those look good. I'm finding morels now too

Had a big fire to make char for #biochar last night.

I dug a 10' trench then made sure to keep a good fire going. If a good fire is burning, it starves the coals of oxygen. I think angled sides help with this. The heat releases all volitile compounds and leaves just the carbon structure behind.

When done burning, I poured 40 gallons of water then buried it. I don't have running water here, otherwise I would have used much more. I'll leave it buried for at least a week to let it cool

Sweet. I have another thing or two I've wanted to order

101 days. Very impressive 👊🏋

I need variety. I may make it nerdy and roll a d20 to determine what workout I will do for the day. 1 will be something like 'gfy, 100 burpees. 20 would be something 'fun' like weighted pack hike. 🤔

Nice.

I have had troubles with the kyc bs. It took a couple months and many times resubmitting the same shit. I finally got approved and used it a few times. I then went a few months without using it and my account is under review.

I think the kyc laws do not allow the company to share why you are being denied.

I just want to buy the amount I need to pay businesses bitcoin while spending fiat.

Shame those cucks won't just tell you why?

Those look nice. I miss having a good over the ear headphones. I've never tried noise canceling headphones. Do they have an aux jack to use without Bluetooth?

My friends used to play a cheap 9 hole course and count every beer as one stroke off the score. It kind of leveled the playing field one was a better golfer the other could drink a bunch and remain somewhat functional. 😂

Not an original, but this is a great template.

Damn, there goes 1/3 of them. 😥😂

Lol. Ii guess that should be wanderbrow
