Making high quality charcoal with no smoke.

[@jameskniskern2261]

I live in a place where charcoal is not needed for cooking. But on our farm we use large kilns to make charcoal for biochar. We add our crushed charcoal to the compost, and then to our gardens to increase the fertility of the soil. We use pruingings and "waste" wood that would otherwise become a fire hazard to improve our soils. Your two barrel system is simple, and will make large amounts of charcoal, both for cooking and for soil improvement. Thank you for sharing your idea.

Charcoal &bio char are different material , biochar I s made by indirect heating of biomass . Bio char gives nutrition to soil.

I made many more holes in the bottom but the burn went too fast, 3/4 hour, and when I opened it there was almost no charcoal - it had all burned up.
