In this video I make biochar in two different ways using 55 gallon steel drums without having to spend very much time modifying the drums. The first way keeps the drum upright while the second method lays the barrel on its side. I discuss the pros and cons of each method.

    Good video thank you! I am wondering if some holes at the bottom of the vertical barrel would get the fire going quicker and easier. Once it had burned enough. The bottom holes could be covered with ash or Dirt and the lid could be put back on allowing the fire to die from lack of oxygen. also wondering about charging the biochar. Would human urine be good for that?

    Do you have a video of your 300 gallon drum on skids ? Would love to see that video. Please post link

    I was given an oil drum. Still has oil remnants/grease residue. How would I go about preparing this barrel in the safest way possible?

    Ah, yet another thing we're both fucking around with. Too bad you live so far away, I'd definitely pound some beers with you and talk for hours about all this.

    Not quite biochar . Lump charcoal possibly but biochar would mean that barrel would be filled and sealed so that a fire outside basically bakes everything except the carbon

    This is not biochar. You are simply making a campfire in a drum!
