In this video you can see two of my biochar methods that I use, a 20liter TLUD gasifier that is gasifying stove pellets and its heat is used to heat up a 60 liter retort which sits inside an insulated 200 liter drum.

The smoke is passed through a cyclone filter followed by a condensation system to extract wood vinegar.

The copper pipe from the condensation system was soldered using one of my smaller TLUD gasifiers.

Very interesting. What is the length of time on the burn?

This is a very promising innovation, Martin, but it is above me technically. Maybe some day I will develop the skills to do something like this.

Montana has cold dark nights. Perfect for the heat from incandescent light. Tiny ad:
