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,

Tom, Thank you for this contribution, it contains lots of good information. I believe that the current biomass power plants look at char as a fuel, and do everything they can to burn it. A gasificatio

One way to create a reliable gas seal is by use of a pumpable slurry. It is used all the time in the oil and gas industry. You are wrong about the molecular weight of carbon monoxide though period it

Hi Paul, The original idea was to burn the logs in the half tank and then tip it over on top of the embers. The question is, would an open burn approach lose more heat, and be less efficient in terms
