Would you be interested in making use of your “unloved biomass” such as annual pruning material from your trees, roses, blackberries etc.? The woody material that would otherwise be unused and wasted can be turned into a valuable resource called BIOCHAR.

With our unique designed KON-TIKI-TAS Deep Cone Kilns – manufactured in the Tamar Valley from 5mm steel, you can make your own BIOCHAR.

Available in 3 Sizes – COMPACT – STANDARD – STRETCH

Our kilns can be shipped AUSTRALIA WIDE.

The kiln’s flame curtain process allows minimising polluting air emissions and creates a fine-grained, highly porous charcoal that helps soils retain nutrients and water.
