The workshop will begin with an overview of the
purpose and functions of biochar, the science and
technology behind it, and then we will make the
burners.
We will light our work when units are
completed (there could be a limit to the # of burns.
)
To build your own biochar unit, bring:
• 55 gal metal drum with lid (preferably with
removable lid but closed end is ok.
)
• 16 or 30 gal drum (lid not necessary)
