My steam table pans arrived, for making biochar in my woodstove. We'll see how it goes. https://image.nostr.build/7e11ab2dbf8d245979e77f368af97fb9f6a811cbd6df5dcb831f76c1e32ee5cf.jpg https://image.nostr.build/5755b2ee2deb58bf5e660f92f34988834e3d92279c9482a1b3c313f5147ba4f5.jpg https://image.nostr.build/39587adcb461b67670ef2bb1b1eaf0906782b8e339662d8d26c6d3a3b03f52bb.jpg #gardening #biochar

I don't know what you are doing but I like that stove

The stove works great. Saves me a bunch of $$ and keeps me much warmer then the furnace. Added benefit is I get a workout working timber. "Biochar is a porous, charged material that has been used to remediate soils by binding contaminants such as pesticides and heavy metals. It offers a physical environment to mycorrhizae, which often benefit from biochar amendment. It binds nutrients such as nitrogen, preventing runoff or leaching, and releases these nutrients to crops, most of which are shown to benefit from biochar additions. The scientific literature is robust in examples, worldwide, of how various biochars benefit agricultural soils and crops."

Looks like the steam table pan worked great as a retort. No ash. https://image.nostr.build/502c125417543c59c6c299f8a4283c2be6d7c9f9ab87fbd11d3d7362dae77ea8.jpg
