Hi All
I happen to see your biochar tread and though surely there must be others how have similar interests .I am thinking of (concocting) experimenting a rocket batch heater with a charcoal compartment .Being a amateur blacksmith that produce charcoal how hate to see all those BTU wasted in the process .Living in Quebec where I need to manage wood stoves 150days +- yearly. I taught there must be a way to use a rocket batch heater to produce charcoal while heating at the same time ?¿?. I manage to produce charcoal 3 to 4 times a week outdoors in to 30 gallons steel drums when ever the weather conditions are favourable. My concern is how to manage the extra heat during the charcoal (pyrolysis) gas burning process that can easily last ¾h to1¾ depending on the wood used and burning conditions.
Any ideas or suggestions regarding this matter would be great.
Thanks for your attention.
