In this video, I will test the new burn box for my efficient charcoal retort. I added a rocket stove as my heat source.

Wowwww! My wife beat you to that joke. Thanks for watching.

Maybe adding some mineral wool insulation around your burn chamber to hold in as much heat as possible will help burn time and efficiency. I've not done it, but I've seen that done pretty regularly. Just food for thought.

Hmmm, not a bad idea. Thanks for watching and thanks for the tip.

@@ministermanoutdoors6179 maybe just round the sides and leave the top uninsulated at first. Just so you don't keep too much heat and melt the whole thing.

Thank you very much for making this video. I am interested in making biochar for a small farm, and I was really wondering how a rocket stove would work. Thanks for the real-world data.

Hi from England, love experimenters, looking to build similar, to utilise small brash to burn on my wood burner. Good vid thanks

I second the recommendation to add insulation. A better next design would be to have the fuel heat the outside of the product chamber.

@ministermanoutdoors6179 8 ай бұрын

Yeah, but heating the outside is typical and would make the unit too large. Thanks for the recommendation and for watching.

You can make videos on making biochar. You will get more traffic. We now know where red hot comes from!

Hey thanks for watching! I'm not sure what you're asking for because charcoal is biochar. All you need to do is crush it up, and put it n your soil.

@ministermanoutdoors6179 Charcoal needs one more step to become "Biochar": inoculation. Basically, soak it in homemade Swamp water for two weeks, then put in the garden. Otherwise, the untreated Charcoal will steal nutrients from the soil for up to two years.
