[Terrapreta] BAMBOO CHARCOAL MAKING

[Richard Haard]

Ben

This buried kiln is the method I am going to try this summer. My plan  
is to make an elongated pit with plow furrow or tractor bucket and a  
pyrolysis chamber of indeterminate length. I have all kinds of scrap  
sheet metal roofing in various stages of decomposition to line the  
pit.  As also does most everyone else. I think cord wood jammed in  
place would support the burn chamber with farm debris in between

top lit, bottom draft seems to be a logical choice.

As soon as my spring planting is finished I am going to try this idea.

Our local pallet salvage company sells cut up pallets for fuel and is  
tropical woods, oak. Makes nice charcoal in my home heating stove.  
Good for testing the idea.
