I need advice on a conservation burn pile for biochar production.
I have a mix of construction wood scraps and landscape clearing debris, in assorted dimensions and lengths. Any suggestions on how best to cut, sort and stack for maximum biochar yield and minimum smoke? Many thanks, Rob Lerner San Miguel de Allende, GTO, Mexico

Dig by spate, shovel or excavator, a crater shaped pit of the size of your choice and scale of the biomass on site, next to the pile and make proper biochar.

This recorded presentation by Deborah Dumroese (Research Soil Scientist -- US Forest Service, Idaho) is fascinating and worth watching. The link provided goes directly to her discussion regarding slash pile creation for biochar. https://youtu.be/TXEhsonPKdE?t=1179 Do yourself a favor and watch from the beginning.

John,
Good find. The paper was just released in the latest issue of Tree Planters Notes.
