Hi Steve, if you want to experiment/practice making charcoal use 45 gallon drum with 3 slits in the base (near edge) and sit it on 3 bricks cut top out leaving lip you can lay lid on (better still a drum with a replaceable lid) light fire in bottom and quickly pack in as much wood as you can and prop lid up 1 side to allow steam/gas/smoke out and soil up round base leaving air ways where your slits are. You can reduce the airflow if it flares up too quick and vice versa you should get thick white smoke to start which will thin overtime and when it starts to turn blue seal lid and base (cutting off oxygen) and allow to cool 24hrs you should then have 1/4 drum of charcoal or so. Burn time will vary, obviously, dependent on wood/weather/wetness, but from memory 2 to 3 hrs. Hope this helps😀

5: The most efficient means of packaging is to sell it ungraded in bulk bags to a bigger processor. Most people use homemade weird and wonderful contraptions to grade the charcoal into paper sacks. I have often thought that a rotating soil screener and potato elevator/bagger would make a good combination for doing bags. All mine goes wholesale. Bag mine using this modified potato riddle Had to modify a fair bit but works well😀

Sound advice!

Am I right in thinking you're in Norfolk? Friend of mine cuts willow rods once a fortnight for hurdle maker near Southwold, so not too far away, remember he said there's loads of small dia waste rods they don't take, will ask on Monday if you're interested?

Burning dry firewood but with high resin content?
timbernut replied to Lucan's topic in Firewood forum
Isn't the hi resin content what makes s woods the best for biomass as (wot Jim b said!) followed swiftly by eucalypts? -

Any Landy appreciators/experts shed some light on why my 300 puts out blue smoke but only when reversing? I did get a mate to follow me down the road and it doesn't do it then except for a couple of seconds if its been stood for an hour or more.

Nearly finished clear felling this old marle pit (1.5h) and at the back a few of the sycamore had been ring barked for some reason this one is still alive (but not for much longer😀)

But the face and the leg once so studied and fine, We pitted with quarries and shafted with mines, Bound him with bridges and broke him with irons, As we blackened the silver sea. -

God had a son and he called him the north, He was rugged and handsome, jagged and coarse, Painted with vistas and covered in gorse, Undiscovered from Tyne to Tees, -
