[@glassbackdiy3949]

Cycling through chickens/bedding is really interesting, I was reading an academic paper yesterday highlighting the role of worms creating terra pretta by utilising the char in the amazon soils, all of which was found to be sub millimieter in size, worms use it in their gizzard to grind up food, which infuses the char with soil minerals, maybe the chickens utilize it in the same way. I usualy cycle my char through the compost cycle, I'll try it in the chickens droppings pit, and give the chickens access to some char too, thanks for sharing, never seen this approach before!

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Awesome info! Do you have a link for that paper? I would be interested in reading that. Worms do so much heavy lifting in soil production and I keep them well fed with char and much more! 😉

Hey man thanks for watching. I appreciate ya! 👊

[@mymy3172]

Great video. Only thing I can offer from my own experience, is the efficiency of the retort works better is with a flue length that matches the height of the barrel you make your biochar in. When I had the one length of flue, I had a lot of smoke in the process. When I added a second length (cannot remember if it was 18 or 24 "). the retort smoked a lot less and preformed like a rocket stove. I also have a vermiculture bathtub with red wriggler worms to digest manure and kitchen scraps which produce a worm liquid from the drain and worm castings. This liquid is mixed with the fresh biochar and inoculates over many months. This mixture is then dug into the garden and is the organic bomb that produces mass quantities of Veg and keeps enriching the soil year after year. Cheers. Oh also , I would like to mention is that I use twigs from Douglas fir tress that come down in winter storms that we rake up. The size of the twigs makes it real easy to crush which you are well aware is really the only pain in the bottom. Keep Charring and sequestering CO2

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Thanks for your input and sharing your experience. I wanted to add another section of flue to improve the siphoning effect but all of the material used was from scavenged resources and what I obtained for free. I'm stoked it has lasted and performed as well as it has as it it now entering its third season. Thanks for watching and make char! 😉

[@bigbendmarine]

Great concise video, and this is coming from someone who's been making and using biochar for several years. 👍 The only piece of information I might have added is the tremendous good that charged biochar does for areas with poor soils versus the limitations it faces when used with soils that might already be rich. Granted, it's a fairly common-sense point, but there's a surprising number of youtube videos where people experiment with adding biochar to very rich bagged/purchased soil mixes and then report test results as limited or even negative. Living in an area where soils are not known for being super rich, I use biochar around my property when I see individual planted trees lagging behind other trees planted nearby, with extremely positive results. That shared, still a ton of great points in the video and so refreshing for it to be shared quickly and concisely!

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

As with any of these experiments it yields different results based on a lot of variables and some people make very declarative findings without ample research or patience. Thanks for your perspective and feedback. 👌

Retorts are easier for sure. The open pit, or cone method. Depending on how large pit , or cone is. Takes a good part of the day to keep it from going to ash. You could buy a used gas wood chipper to grind up the charcoal. Just have to play with the speed to get the size particles you want. And the charcoal needs to be damp.

Wow, You seem to understand biochar exactly same way I do. Crushing the char is the task I like least. I had an old chipper/shredder and I would mix the char with leaves/clippings and run it thru a couple of three times, then compost it. It is quick, clean, and easy. But my chipper died so now I am back to crushing by hand. Sometime I use better quality oak feed stock and make an incomplete burn for charcoal to grill with. Good concise video, thank you.

Curious if there is a general rule of thumb as to how many pounds of char to 100 sq ft ?? Thank you for such an intelligence packed, eloquent, concise video.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

There are variables depending on application rate beginning with soil type, soil fertility, and what is the intended purpose. There are many studies and not all in agreement so do your further research to find what is going to benefit you. I innoculate my compost desiring to achieve 5-10% biochar by volume. I don't worry too much about specific calculations regarding adding biochar as it is difficult to reach these amounts for the small backyard producer. Good luck man and make char!

Hi Porterhouse. I watched a lot of biochar videos last night and particularly appreciated yours. The pace, quality, and content was far above average. I do think you may get a better result by incorporating an activation step. From what I gleaned you have the best method of making charcoal and adding compost tea to it, but there's a middle step of activating the charcoal which makes exponentially more surface area. Other homesteader videos suggest burning the material to coals then dowsing the flames with water creating a lot of steam which activates the charcoal. Adapting that to your method would be watering the 30 gal inner container while it is at peak heat. It sounds hard to do but you may want to experiment. I've not found a 30gal steel barrel and prices are $$$. Do you think using a galvanized trash can would work? To get started I plan to use a barrel with side cut out then dowsing with water. It will take a lot more attention than your solution and not work as well, but its a start.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Adding water to the char during the cooling process would be a nice addition to the process. I don't do that because it adds another step in my workflow that doesn't yield enough benefit to warrant my time since my char will be passively inoculated in the compost for the remainder of eternity. I do quench when making char in a pit or trench because it just fits into the workflow and it can help to lessen the hydrophobic properties by removing the residuals before they can solidify. Thanks for your suggestion it might indeed make a better char. 👌

[@richcoman-cq9pc]

I used a Roto Hoe chipper. The Roto-Hoe doesn’t chip very well and and just beats solids around. When you put that wet charcoal in there it comes out like black ooze, black gold, very satisfying.

Hey hi here from Germany. Very good video and very good summery of everything important about bio char! One point I’d like to discuss further is the part with the oily and smelly residues. As far es I know they’re made of mostly PHAs and PHAs are a group of very stable and highly carcinogenic molecules. Besides heat they don’t break apart very easily and will end up in the food chain. Good thing all you need to do to remove all PHAs completely is just heating the biomass a little more. At 600°C and more only the pure carbon should stay back which should be completely odorless. As far as I know… you know.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

The temperatures in my retort are at or above 1200°f as I have measured them. The char I have made has no odor or oily Residue. There is residual tar and resin which is not obvious when looking at the char but is the primary reason the char has become hydrophobic. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!

Ya the barrel method looks good. My issue is time. I’ve used a barrel. I still need to try the retort method though. The trench method I like cause I can burn a twenty foot trailer full of old farm poles in like six hours. I’d never be able to burn that much wood in a barrel in such a short time. Skillcultz channel I like as he just burns till there’s coals in the trench and adds more. It’s definitely more practical in farms and or in the mountain if you have lots of wood to do and you just want to spend the least amount of time. Although I suppose in the winter burning wood in a retort would be really practical to get heat and some charcoal and just do a little daily.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Absolutely! The trench method is an excellent way to go for long stock on a project with an abundance of material. Such a great method for property clean-up. There are so many options and there are always new ways being thought of to improve on the very simple and timeless hole in the ground. Make char! 👍

[@koltoncrane3099]

The biochar retort I think is great for making purer charcoal especially if you want to use it for bbq or cooking which I want to use for all my apple tree pruning. Ya for projects like cleaning a yard I think the trench method is good. We literally were cleaning up a neighbors yard. The guy died and his brother was selling it. We removed trailer loads of old logs and branches etc. I’ve seen videos of basically a retort trailer where the door on the trailer opens up and there’s like two tanks on the trailer one inside of the other. My dad has a twenty foot long trash truck. The bin is like 20 foot long with a lid at the end that opens. I’ve thought about converting that into a retort. I also say I think USU in an educational video showed rectangular metal big bins where loggers burned scraps of wood at the logging site into coals. One video of that idea I think said they use metal covers once they’re done to keep oxygen out cause they maybe in the middle of nowhere without water to make sure the coals are out. I’ve seen videos like the channel ask Jeff Williams and others where they have homemade rock crushers. They crush rock to like one inch and then they have like a buffer or shop grinder setup where instead of turning a grinder or buffer wheel the machine turns a piece of chain that’s inclosed. Then they drop small rock in tk be pulverized and drop out of a small screen. I’ve thought that’d be a pretty economical way to crush down charcoal. I’ve not built one yet but I think I’ll try tk build that idea or setup this spring to process charcoal. A couple years ago I did the trench method and walked on the charcoal. I had a large amount but only got them down to one inch or less. So in the garden at first it sucked to raise beets in. But now it’s buried deeper. Making charcoal smaller definitely is a key point gardeners etc need to remember.

[@leonardopensador]

You can activate the char by igniting it for about 15 minutes when they acquire that orange / yellow color. And than, watering it to stop the burn process. They become more porous and even better for ground microbiologic simbiosis exchanges.

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

Sending biochar chunks through a chipper/shredder pulverizes it into dust. BE SURE IT'S MOISTENED b4 shredding... or any breezes will send the dust over to your neighbor's fields. The shredder may need rinsing with a garden hose occasionally (can plug up dependingnon the batch of char).

One way to get rid of the tars and resins is to steam the charcoal in the absence of oxygen. Basically, fill a container halfway up with crushed charcoal, fill it up the rest of the way with water, and then boil it with a small opening that allows the steam to push out, carrying oxygen with it.

Appreciated. We use the cone pit method and get a good haul of char. From the pit it is transferred to the compost bin state and in the chicken run. Been looking to make a retort just for fun.

Charcoal is made from almost same process,,,

[@therealprtrhsenteal]

It depends what you are referring to as charcoal but I am going to assume you are meaning lump charcoal. In that instance you are correct. 👌

[@BirdyOfficial]

@therealprtrhsenteal yes,,, in the process in our country they burry the woods in ground, cover from top and sit fire to them,,, they convert to charcoal.
