have run retorts a few times and yours seems to be under insulated to much gas venting,and burn time should be dictated by gassing ie when the gas stops its charcoal.looks a cracking set up . keep the faith!

anouther busmans holiday talking shop ,jobs for the scratchers ,heard it all before!

its fairys not witchs that will be upset

have milled it on lumbermate in the past found it to be no different to most pines suffered with fungal stains was difficult to dry,considering the size and board width it didnt generate any extra interest so would probably carve it into big mushrooms next time!
