Making Charcoal and Biochar - a comprehensive guide is written with
the interested amateur in mind, with the certainty that anyone who
has a go at making charcoal will soon get the bug. Before you know
it, you will be upgrading to a shiny new retort and there will be
no looking back! This book gives a wide range of possibilities for
making charcoal on a small scale and for commercial production.
There are chapters on the heritage skills of earth burns, the
enduring popularity of metal kilns and the future represented by
the charcoal retort. Biochar - or small particle charcoal - has
been heralded as an ancient but rediscovered 'super substance' that
can increase soil fertility and productivity whilst locking up
carbon into the ground. This book looks at the ongoing discussion
and weighs up the evidence. It concludes with a celebration of the
myriad ways in which charcoal can be put to use.
