[Stoves] Biochar retort

[YES SIR!]

I am looking to build a GIANT retort.  I have an unlimited supply of
compressed wheat straw bales (approx. 500,000lbs per yr).  They measure
4'x5'x3' and weigh about 400lbs each.  I am wanting to build a retort large
enough to hold anywhere from 1 to 10 of these bales, probably
horizontally.  My question is will these bales fully pyrolyze "as is" with
perhaps a few inches of airflow on all sides and between bales inside the
retort?

Thank you,

Mike
