This did not come though from Chris, so I attach it below:
Re: MOBILE "Adam-retort" for charcoal production .... finally
people are asking me since long, long for one.....
Was driving car recently on the highway, was thinking how to design
something unique, something new?- and after some hours if thinking and
driving, the concept was born.... It will be on the base of 2 oil drums,
means about 400 litres of volume for biomass, char recovered should be
~2/3, means ~266 litres of char or charcoal per day.... Smoke will be
burnt plus heat recycled (this is new, existing ones just after-burn the
smoke in the chimney; without using its heat for carbonization); my
mobile retort will be different. Will be light weight about ~150kg,
low-cost about ~500EUR, can be pulled by a person, vehicle or a horse,
donkey. Will start building a prototype mid 2013?. Am looking for
a sponsor and/or a partner.....?cheers Chris,

KV:
So we are talking about mobile pyrolysis units, not gasification?
Just make sure the drums can be replaced every few weeks as they won't
last. I would be inclined to switch to custom built drums, but keep the
diameter the same so that the sealable lids from 200 L drums can fit on
them, and extend then to over a metre in length and 2mm in thickness.
This will increase production and longevity of kiln.

Kobus
