I'm very keen to meet Richy_B and The Village Idiot, but neither have replied to my request. If anyone knows how to nudge them into looking at their personal messages, I'd be very grateful. Cheers.

<p>Hi,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You very kindly offered to show me your kiln. It would be great for me to come and see it when you are loading it up and getting it going. Can you let me know when you are next planning a burn and I'll try and join you.</p>

Thanks for your ideas so far. We are making charcoal for barbecues with a pope charcoal kiln, and I'm starting to experiment with biochar with the dusty leftovers. I feel that we should be creating less pollution - hence the interest in the Exeter. A round trip to Richy_B and the village idiot sounds a fun thing to do. I also want something on a smaller scale so that I can clear up all the brush when I'm on my own in the wood. The message from the Coppice Convention in Singleton seemed to be that a clean wood resulting in poor soil is also the most biodiverse wood. (What ever happened to Eco heaps?) None of you so far have experience of the Kon Tiki kiln - google it and see the fun they are having in Switzerland and Australia.

I'm looking to buy a charcoal kiln or two. For small scale biochar, I've rather taken a fancy to a Kon Tiki kiln, but it seems that no-one makes them in England - unless you are going to tell me otherwise. Has anyone got one? Did you make it yourself? I'm in the East Midlands and would love to see it in action. On a larger scale, I'd like to see an Exeter biochar retort. The makers have offered me a visit to one in Shropshire. Has anyone got one closer to Leicestershire that I could come and see?
