    A little tip for making the charcoal with the highest surfacearea: Try to use the lightest wood (smallest density), as theres already a very high sufacearea. For my blackpowder, i use Balsawood, that is used for small planes. It almost crumbels with the lightest touch, you can imagine! Also the surfacearea is super high.

  • @mortenrl1946
    @mortenrl1946 5 лет назад +1

    The method I was taught as a young Danish boyscout, was building a pile of firewood with dry grass stuffed in between and around the wood pieces, and stacking peat around it, with small air holes near the top, rather than a big opening. You may have better results with less air flow. I also think the stacked peat has the added benefit of releasing moisture and compressing the charcoal in the burner, putting most of it out when the dry grass burns away. My results have been pretty good, although larger pieces of wood are often still wooden inside after doing this - Can come out a bit "half baked"!

    Cody, I make charcoal in a 55 gallon drum, using the same method as you used in the pit. I start the fire and keep adding small wood up to 2.5 inches, until it is full of charcoal, then hose it down good until it is cold or it will burn up. Then I place it on a tarp to dry. With this method, you can get good quality charcoal for forging or smelling fast, but it is not food grade/activated.
    The best activated charcoal is mostly made from coconut shell.

Holes in the ground are easier to come by, and easier to "dispose"of when you're done. Hat tip to SkillCult, his videos introduced me to this technique. There is so much to love - I throw in all my blackberry cuttings and other pernicious weeds you don't want in the compost. Then let the chickens kick it around for a few weeks to charge it. Great soil amendment, waste upcycling and C02 sequestration all at once. Plus you get to spend the afternoon playing with fire.

  • @omeshsingh8091
    @omeshsingh8091 Год назад +1

    I made my first charcoal this week. I had a metal box that I placed in a "cone fire" so I got to create both types at the same time. I found the same thing as you, that the "tort" charcoal was harder to crumble and often had a shinier surface than the "open pit" charcoal. I assume the tort achieves some higher pressure and temperature cooking conditions that prevents the raw material from freely expanding when it is heated and that it probably creates a denser more defined structure in the end product.

    • @omeshsingh8091
      @omeshsingh8091 Год назад

      The tort was actually less dense than the open-pit biochar. Perhaps the open-pit char is more matt in finish because it was directly quenched with water. My brother suggested that it may be the rapid temperature changes creates stresses in the surface that creates cracking or maybe as the water enters the pores and instant ly converts to steam it expands and creates more cracks on the surface which makes the surface roughness higher..

    If anyone wants to make an anti-ASMR that's physically painful to listen to, I recommend sampling the handling and opening of the barrel around the 4m mark to around the 5m mark.

  • @survivalbert7017
    @survivalbert7017 5 лет назад +1

    I'd say: For the cone pit, you have to extinguish the fire with external elements such as water or sand. For many applications, this leads to another extra step such as drying or cleaning. Contrary, the drum tort (if created relatively air tight) can just be closed, preventing any air intake, will go out on its own and thus gives "cleaner" charcoal without requiring another extra step.

  • @moistnuggests
    @moistnuggests 5 лет назад

    Cody, I just had an interesting idea for making large piles of charcoal pretty easily. I remember watching the primitive technology guy making charcoal by piling it up, covering it with mud/clay, setting it on fire and closing the air holes.
    I was thinking of making a reusable version of that, make a large dakota pit but with a couple small pipes for airflow, fill it with wood, set it on fire, and once it gets going cover the pit and air pipes firebrick or ceramic blanket to stop air flow and let the pile smolder. Set it and forget it until the thing burns out and cools off, reuse the pit and firebrick/blanket, only downsides I can think of is digging the pit and getting the charcoal out of it.

    I guess, the only disadvantage of the pit method is that you manually add the wood, so it takes more time. But theoretically, that also could be automated somehow.
    And somehow it feels funny, when you just eat the coal.. how can you eat something so black? *takes a sip of coca cola*
