Dear Lori
OK! For small scale field trials, the "Gilmore Charcoal System" seems very appropriate.
I would suggest for your consideration that you get a good soil analysis, and then conduct pot trials, using radish (fast growing) to see what biochar addition rates and what other additives (fertilizer, lime, microbes, organic additions, etc) give the best results, and whether larger scale field tests are warranted.
Please keep us posted on how you proceed, and what results you get.
Best wishes,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Here are my answers to your questions...
1: What is the nature of the biomass resource(s) you propose to char? Wood chops
2: What is your approximate intended "scale of operation?" Small farm scale
3: What is the presently intended "end use" for the char you wish to produce?
for biochar field trials
4: Do you have a use for the energy in the pyrolysis gases? no immediate use
5: Please confirm that you are indeed interested primarily interested in charcoal production, OR if perhaps you are interested in gasification of biomass (either wood or charcoal) for engine use. biochar production
All the best,
Lori

Thanks for posting this, Erin. Do you know if the biochar produced by this method is suitable for biochar?

Hi All,
I've assembled the Gary Gilmore's Charcoal making instructions from Jeff along with Mr. Gilmore's youtube videos and posted them on the biochar site for anyone that's interested.
The Gary Gilmore Charcoal Drum
http://www.biochar.bioenergylists.org/Gilmore-Charcoal-Drum
He does a great job of describing a top lit updraft charcoal making technique using a couple of steel drums and controlling airflow by selectively piling dirt up to block off the air holes.
Kind regards,

I think you wanted Gary's document that has been sent to you but maybe your thinking of the gasifier that produced charcoal.
I have no idea if any of these designs will produce biochar but they will produce charcoal.

Hello there Jeff,
Thanks for your reply...Could you tell me if the design that you had for a biochar retort at your puffergas site is available elsewhere online?
All the best,
Lori Heath

Lori,
Jeff Davis closed his puffergas website and we transferred much of his information to the bioenergylists website. We’ll check to see if we have that file online.

Hello,
I am looking for the biochar retort design that used to be featured at the following website address...
http://www.puffergas.com/historic/rules/rules.html
However, now when I click on this address, it redirects to Jeff Davis's site on Bioenergy Lists.
Does anyone know where I could find the design I am looking for, and/or the contact information for the designer?
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Lori Heath
