Beaurocrats took environment out of the epa. Should be called the BPA... Beaurocrat Protection Agency, since it exists mostly to fund itself. I was looking for a smaller operation, but this one sure is impressive.

can this unit be built on a trailer that can be taken to site to make biochar? how much does this unit cost?

[@Asandas923]

[@Politikul]

i was wondering the same thing, i'd like to scale one down a bit to use for grass/weeds

[@homesinallforms]

Idk but the guy eating charcoal just cracked me up

[@kevinstory872]

a biochar system needs to be low cost, simple and convenient. solar furnace would be best.

[@landonsegal4355]

is there a way to grind or slice the biochar and make uniform chips out of? I know the fines have volatiles in them. I would want 2/4mm chips without the coarse material and without most of the fines
