If what you want is bio char, aka charcoal there
are a couple of things to keep in mind:
1. All wood burning is gasification. When burning
wood the fuel is heated to a point where the gasses are released, the gasses are
then burned. If you stop the process at the proper time the result is charcoal.
2. Cheap is good, free is better.
3. There aint no magic. And this is nothing new.
Jack Daniels for years featured the making of "rick
burned charcoal' in their advertisments.
Hard maple logs were sawed to identical sized
pieces, stacked in a precise patern, set on fire, and
douced with water at the right moment to create
their charcoal filter material for refining the booze.
Japan, and I think Germany, during WW II suffered
from such a fuel shortages in the homelands that their trucks and busses
were equiped to run on the products of smoldering wood, hay, trash and garbage.
The truckloads of trash collected at our "transfer
station" (the dump) go to a facility where
truckload after truckload of the stuff is worked
into a smoldering heap, the gasses from which burn with a huge blue flame under
an electric generating plant.
The take-away from all this is: Study a LOT before
writing any checks.
