Well if you have been tuned in to our quest for hot water down in the valley which we call Biochar Industries Headquarters you will be glad to know tonight we had success. Click here to see attempt number 1.
Starting to build the bath up on blocks to get a fire under it

After showing attempt number 1 to US expert on Biochar production and characterisation Dr Hugh McLaughlin he suggested among other things to build a fire under the bath. Well we took his advice and tonight I am toasty, warm and lived to tell the tale.
We have lift off a Fire under the Biochar Bath

The good thing about biochar is you stay pretty warm with all that fire going on and tonight was no different except I was wet and warm. The bath water temp got to 47.5C Smileing.
We also had a Johnny Rodgers “Pirate” 44 Gallon Gasifier roaring about 2 meters away from the bath as I work on preparations for the farm demonstration at byangum in 2 weeks time.
Here are some Pictures
