	The concept depicted on the right is also known as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumford_furnace Rumford furnace] which was fueled by coal (or charcoal). Our modification is that the input is uncharred biomass such as wood, and that it not completely burned to ash but is only charred (pyrolyzed) into biochar. The system has flexibility though, and if ash instead of char is the desired product (e.g. for [[lye]] production or other purposes, that that can be done as well.

			This seems much less technical challenging than biochar/brick co-production. Again, this is a 24/7 operation. The use of pyrolysis gas [http://www.scientific.net/MSF.591-593.206 has been demonstrated] for lime burning.
