Kiln Hire and Demonstrations

Hire a Biochar Kiln

Perfect for:

Woodland owners
Farms and smallholdings
Market gardens
Community growing projects
Estates

Want to make your own biochar? We want to help you! In fact, we want to get as many people as possible producing biochar and putting it into the soil.

Hiring one of our kilns allows you to turn your own woody material into high-quality biochar from your own waste woody biomass. It's a wonderful option for woodland owners, farmers, smallholders, gardeners, estates, community groups and anyone interested in making better use of natural timber.

By producing your own biochar, you'll not only create a valuable soil amendment, but you'll also lock carbon away for hundreds—potentially thousands—of years, helping to reduce the amount of carbon returned to the atmosphere.

Our kilns are simple to use, and we're always happy to provide guidance before your hire to help you achieve the very best results.

Perhaps you'd love the benefits of making biochar, but you'd rather leave the practical side to someone else.

We can bring one of our kilns to your site and manage the entire burn from start to finish. We'll handle loading, monitoring and quenching the kiln while explaining the process along the way if you'd like to learn more.

This is ideal if you have woody material you'd like to convert into biochar but don't have the time or confidence to operate a kiln yourself.

We'll also advise on charging your finished biochar and how to use it effectively in your soil, ensuring you get the maximum benefit from your burn.

Ideal for:

Farms
Estates
Woodland management projects
Community events
Demonstration days
Educational workshops

For Weddings and Special Events

Looking for something truly meaningful as well as beautiful?

A biochar burn creates a beautiful, living focal point that naturally draws people together. Throughout the day, guests can watch the fascinating alchemy of wood into biochar, ask questions, and learn about one of the world's most exciting climate-positive technologies, or just simply watch the dancing flames, and warm themselves by the impressive heat.

As the sun begins to set, the glowing kiln creates a warm, atmospheric centrepiece—something memorable that people will talk about long after the celebration has ended.

For couples who care about nature, sustainability and creating meaningful experiences, a biochar burn can become part of the story of your wedding day.

Some couples even choose to use the finished biochar afterwards in their own garden or plant a commemorative tree together, incorporating the carbon created during their celebration into the beginning of their married life.

It's a gentle reminder that even celebrations can leave something positive behind.
