Good bit of kit. Are you upgrading or change of direction?

It has been a hard decision for us. I started off making lumpwood using this retort and it got such a great response. It was really rewarding making something yourself and having top chefs and 'back garden' users praising it.

 

But as demand increased and we were only able to directly meet a smaller and smaller % of that demand we have had to look for other producers.
