The Moxham, what why when where etc.
On 27
th
August 2009
a great man in biochar died. Geoff Moxham
was killed in the forest getting wood for a Kiln of his design.
He was my mentor, his ideal I still carry, his passion is also mine,
the legacy is alive and thriving and the name lest we forget is now
shared by the lowest tech/highest yielding farm/village scale
biochar unit. Simplicity in all its splendour I introduce to you the
Moxham biochar concept.

His enthusiasm led me into the biochar world and with this I
return the favour. All he wanted was for everyone on the planet to
make biochar, put it in the soil and help save the planet.

The vessel
The Moxham is just a piece of pipe. Materially speaking it is
simply a large pipe that is set on its end and a fire lit inside it.
However it gets its Spirit from the many long hours of research
that Charmaster Dolph Cooke (Me) and the Barefoot Biochar
Crew have invested to make the world’s easiest biochar unit.
I have many people to thank who have helped me get to this
point with biochar. They know who they are and for now I will just
call them the barefoot biochar crew, lots of Love to all of you

The pipe I have is 1.90cm outside diameter, the section stands
170cm tall and the walls of the pipe are 20mm thick.
It is made out of steel in fact it was a reused piece of gas pipe.
It came to me by way of a friend who saw it in the scrap metal
yard and immediately thought of my biochar project. He swapped
it for a truck load of old scrap I had around the farm that was only
rusting away. I was told it weighs 1.1 tonne and would of cost
$800.00 if he had paid cash.
Our ethos is to apply biochar freely to the planet and enthusiate
others to do the same. So everything we do / make / test /trial etc.
we do openly for everyone or as Geoff Moxham would say
copyleft.
We are resilient and have the balls to do what others dare not.
