I know this is an old thread....but genius!

I make my own charcoal for biochar to put in the garden. I have a 30 gallon retort and a homemade chain mill from a 5 gallon bucket.

Didn't dawn on me it was a "mill" for breaking up stuff... Never heard of a chain mill... Now I know.... Thanks....

Similar, but mine is made from a 1/2" shaft 3' long and uses a 5 gallon plastic bucket for the drum... I use a drill with a rheostat switch to control it. I have a mesh screen that is interchangeable for particle size.
