Dear All, I received a strange advertisement today inviting participants to go into a forest and make charcoal. As we hear so often, smoke is quite dangerous to health and adds to climate warming. Making smoke to make bio-char just doesn't make sense especially in the USA.
It's great to use a TLUD to burn biomass very cleanly (no smoke) and to then use the made bio-char as a soil amendment. But I cannot imagine the rational behind burning slash piles resulting in lots of smoke to make some bio-char. Shouldn't bio-char only be made with no attending smoke? Best, Dean
