I am looking to use my existing brick chimney with a 7" stainless liner. I am leaning to what is easiest / possible. Masonry rocket mass stoves are tough to get permitted, I am led to understand.

I have been making batches of biochar in a 55 gallon barrel retort, which is great for getting rid of tree waste. The challenge with a retort inside the house is loading and unloading the pyrolysis chamber.

A workaround is to use metal containers to do the pyrolysis inside a good woodstove.
