A combustion/carbonizing system which comprises a base frame and a combustion chamber frame which is pivotably attached to the base frame. The combustion chamber frame defines an open top combustion chamber having a bottom perforated plate. A plenum is formed below the perforated plate for collecting biochar which passes therethrough. A first source of combustion air is supplied across the top of the combustion chamber while a second source of combustion air passes through the perforated plate into the combustion chamber. The combustion/carbonizing system is capable of operating in a continuous manner for combustion wood or waste material to the desired degree required by the end user for the purpose of reducing the volume of the material as well as the associated emissions while generating valuable char and boichar as an end product. For some applications, the combustion/carbonizing system may be operated to combust completely the wood or waste material.

A combustion/pyrolization system for generating at least one of char and biochar comprising an upper base frame supporting a combustion/pyrolization housing, and the combustion/pyrolization housing having both an open top end and an open bottom end. A char collection bin defining a collection chamber therein and a perforated grate normally covering the open top end of the char collection bin. The perforated grate being sized so as to permit desired sized char and/or biochar to pass therethrough into the collection chamber. The open bottom end of the combustion/pyrolization housing of the upper base frame is movable into an engaged position where the combustion/pyrolization housing partially receives and surrounds the perforated grate and defines a combustion/pyrolization chamber for receiving and consuming feed material. The upper base frame is movable out of engagement with the perforated grate to facilitate movement of the perforated grate and removal of the generated char and/or biochar.

A portable, yard waste incinerator system with a large burn tank located on a transport and configured for burning yard waste. Located inside the burn tank is lower primary combustion chamber and an upper secondary chamber, Located inside the primary burn housing with a burner. Propane fuel is connected to an external propane gas source which delivers propane to the burner. The primary burn housing includes a plurality of holes that allows flames and hot gases from the fire and heat from the primary combustion chamber to extend into a secondary combustion chamber. The system also includes a vacuum system which picks up small, loose combustible debris from the yard and delivers the debris and oxygen to the secondary combustion chamber. The system also includes an optional electric generator that energizes the vacuum system and an optional shredder that delivers shredded yard waste to the secondary burning chamber.
