Biomass contains enough Oxygen to seed its own destruction. All you have to do is heat the log and keep it insulated well without O2 getting in.
It will burn almost all the Hydrogen and char the entire thickness.

Detective Erin,
Within the fine print in your fine report, I found, "To confirm this claim, the author, during his field research for his masters thesis, went up to the forests of Barangay Bulala in Sta. Elena to observe the traditional practices of wood charcoal production. There he found several piles of huge dirigkalin logs ready for the carbonization." Could you find how they carbonize HUGE logs? What is huge and do they down size them before carbonization? Since most of us, including trees, will eventually fall and many are of no value for lumber or firewood, it would be helpful to know if someone is charring hug logs. The largest I have received at my farm/compost site, is a cotton wood trunk, 7' dia. X 15', which I would gladly donate to whatever.
Thanks, Dick
