Ingenious Ozzie. Really enjoyed your metal work, especially the tabs to hold the chimney and the homemade lid.

Great video Les. I have a paddock full of black wattle, enough to keep me going till I fall off the perch.

Thanks mate. The black wattle makes some good charcoal. Should be able to cook up a few steaks with your supply.

I’m using a bigger inner barrel. 33 gal inside a 55 gal drum. I’m thinking I did not have enough wood surrounding the 33 gal. I was left with half char half wood. Can I start over? or is this batch ruined?

No problems. Just put the it back into the next batch and mix it with some new timber. You made need the comparable gases to get the heat required.

Why not build a proper wood fired oven and cut to the chase? Unless you're making biochar as a soil amendment....

Excellent video. I'm going to make a replica of that retort burner. Do you use smaller bit on a garden? That's my idea, to load the ground with carbon

Thanks for the comment. I was going to experiment with carbon in the garden this summer. Looks like it may have some positives in relation to holding nutrients in the soil, allowing good drainage and keeping moisture available to plants

Does the inside barrel sit right on the bottom of the other barrel or do you have a spacer in there? Couldn't really see the bottom of the burn barrel.

It sits right on the base of the outer barrel to keep oxygen out. Hot combustible gases force their way out at this junction
