The Ring of Fire Kiln® is a metal container for converting waste wood and brush into biochar, a valuable soil amendment.

The kiln consists of an inner ring composed of six sheets of mild steel that are bolted together. An outer ring of lighter gauge steel bolts onto the brackets that hold the inner ring together. The purpose of the outer ring is to serve as a heat shield that holds in heat for better efficiency. Total volume of the kiln is 5.6 cubic yards.
