A super easy, accessible way for average folks to make some charcoal as a soil amendment with whatever brush you have lying about. No need for a kiln or retort or anything fancy like that. Also produces very little smoke, so it's a good way to do burn piles anyway.
Biochar newbies might be intimidated by the technical talk and array of different devices and techniques for producing charcoal. While exploration of all options and details is awesome and should continue among biochar enthusiast geeks, the average gardener doesn't have to make things that complicated. This method and burning in a pit in layers are both very accessible and don't require any special equipment. They can also be scaled up from small to large amounts of feedstock or various sizes. Save your brush and scrap wood and give it a try!
