Thanks for all of your suggestions. Since even Sue agrees that biochar will be produced in a 10' dia X 30' X 7/8" rr tank rim with a 6' wide by 30' piece removed for feeding "waste wood". Her concern,

You've probably seen Dolph Cooke's Moxham biochar tank rim which works, because the steel rim is heavy enough. One of too many mistakes I've made was cutting a couple 10 1/2' dia X 15' X 1/4" fuel tan
