I finally have about 25 gallons of biochar made. The tilted barrel method works well for about five gallons of good quality biochar. It is possible to get double that, but you lose the flame cap and start producing a lot of ash. You can see this in the photo.

This method is fine for someone using fallen limbs on just an acre or two. It might also work in conjunction with a fodder coppice as long as you have multiple drums going. I will keep playing around with this, but will have to move to something much bigger as we clear out the sweetgum to plant fodder trees.

(Sorry for the double post. I forgot to add the things.)
