You did a great job. Because of the long chimmany the air flow is probably cooking the wood in half the time. You may not need it but the next step would be a bigger container to make more but that makes about one bag of charcoal for normal use it does it work very well. Thank You Loader for the tips.

Would be nice to see all that wasted heat captured but i like the high temperature that is reached so burns off wood gasses. It looks very small and those escaping gasses up the pipe through your 8 holes just heats the chimney could be used to fuel the fire below. What if that pipe was longer and set down lower than 1 inch (as 5:00 minute mark shows) Or put in 2' pipe from oven to expel gasses into flame for burning. Save fuel and chimney not show flames threw a 6 foot chimney. All that wasted heat should tell you something is wrong with design. Take care and thanks for upload.

nice job. I'm looking to build a retort as simply as possible with available materials. I've made charcoal for years but have never used the gas byproduct to aid the primary heat source. Once the wood starts offgasing do you stop adding wood to the burner down below. I mean does the gas take over as the sole heat source to complete the pyrolysis of the wood? Your design is at the top of the list from what I've seen. Simple yet effective. Nice looking charcoal
@diegobadillagonzalez2492
6 жыл бұрын
Hello. Thanks. As soon the wood starts offgasing, the feeding amount of wood becomes minimal, just enough to keep the wood gas burning inside the central pipe, but the wood gas makes the job. Wish you success with your project, and happy welding. 👍😁

@@peerno from all of my personal tests and materials that i have read, if your "barrel or container" is built safely and correctly for the purposes of making charcoal (please be sure to follow any applicable laws and be safe), this container is typically called a charcoal kiln even though it is technically a still used for wood. anyway, the concept is to heat wood in the container without letting air get into the container. the process is typically known as destructive distillation. you would be heating wood in a container that has a single vent to allow the gasses/vapors to escape. some of the gas is carbon dioxide, some is water vapor, some is methyl alcohol (the same stuff that keeps windshield wiper fluid from freezing) and a few other vapors. these vapors are flammable and methyl alcohol is toxic so please be extra careful with that. anyway, i say all of that to say this; the wood becomes charcoal when all of those gasses are removed from the wood. if you start your charcoal kiln with the wood inside, those chemicals in the wood will basically boil and vent out in the form of vapor. when the heat is still going strong but the vapors have stopped, the volatile chemicals have been removed and you have charcoal inside of your charcoal kiln.

I’m trying to understand the holes in the pipe. My understanding is you want the wood gases to be expelled into the outer flame. If your holes are outside of the retort the wood gases are contained but if inside the retort they can not reach the fire. Can you explain where the holes in the pipe are located after you’ve welded the top? Thank you
@glennmartin6492

The holes are about an inch or two up from the bottom of the wood can. Wood gas collects in the can, eventually exiting into the flue where there's enough hot oxygen to ignite it. It combusts in the flu insid the can, heating it further.
