Hi, I am working too on making Biochar from forest litter. I will be using a muffle furnace for the experiment. Liquids cannot be collected from the furnace but it is possible to analyse the gas through its outlet. As far as I know muffle furnace is not idle to produce large quantities of Biochar. You will be using a lot of electricity and also the furnace does not have a large capacity. You could try making a stove(designs are available here :Biochar Production Methods) but the only problem would be maintaining the temperature, which you could handle by the amount of fuel ) -Aman
