That's awesome! I wish I had the backyard to keep it in.

i did a run last week and it was, ahem ...a blazing success! yielded 16x more biochar than my tlud beer keg and it took only an hour. it was super hot with giant, violent flames, like a rocket engine. pretty sure i deorbited the planet!
because of the heat, it was hard to add new layers neatly, but i managed to push in pre-arranged piles with a long handled hoe. used mostly dry sumac, pine and poplar.
def worth the effort!
