Homestead Charcoal making the best way
zhlédnutí 613KPřed 8 lety
Here's how we make charcoal on the homestead. This is only 1 method, but it works very good. This works by keeping the oxygen away from the charcoal and not allowing it to fully burn.

This is the way
If you have a wood stove just get a stainless steel container, drill some air holes in it, then fill it with wood and put it in your stove. This will produce smaller amounts of charcoal, but you don't need to maintain a big fire outdoors and all the energy goes into heating your home. If you prepare several containers in advance you'll have a large amount of charcoal soon :) Watch "Make Your Own Charcoal In Your Wood Stove (Wood Gasification) DIY" to see how it works.
Made it look easy.

I do it very similar. Lots of videos of guys making these elaborate retort kilns and stoves, but I hate drilling and otherwise cutting up solid barrels… I also hate using 3x the amount of firewood as charcoal wood to get the finished charcoal… and I especially hate only producing a bucket full of charcoal at a time. I do almost the same as you here, but I don’t drill any holes in my burn barrel, and I use a rusted out old barrel for the jet chimney. During burn pile season, I use 2 or 3 full barrels and build burn piles around and over them, barrels have only 1 hole with a 3-5ft x 1” pipe attached to allow for the pyrolysis processes and so I can monitor exactly what’s going on in the barrels. Both methods are super simple, and efficient…
No good
Fresh wood or dry wood...when to close the steeldrum and the holes downside..what is the key?
Dry wood is best. Close the drum lid, and base holes when you see red coals at the bottom of the barrel.

i love your way's. nice in simple
That is some TASTY LOOKIN. CHARCOAL. Mmmmm
How long does to burn the wood until tobe charcoal ?
You burn it until you see red coals at the bottom.
@@TURBOLANDRAIDER about how long time will be the red charcoal come out at bottom ?
@@sasonosasono9487 about 2 or 2.5 hours
Thank you for sharing 😊👍
I have some questions... how much time do you leave the afterburner. And for how much time do you leave it breathing from below holes...
All explained on the video. The afterburner stays on until you see red coals through the bottom vents. Then the vents get sand shoveled onto them, and the top gets covered.
@@TURBOLANDRAIDER thanks.. just a minor question... red coals may fall in the bottom from the initial fire ... shall I have to wait to see fire in the bottom??.. as i understand it needs 2 and a half hours after setting the fire and then close all the holes including the top??
@@zooulapanayiotou2603 wait until you see the flame front drop down to the very bottom where the vents are. That's when you know it's ready to cap off, and extinguish the fire.
This is by far the simplest method I've seen. I like simple.
Hi , I have this huge bur oak/white oak tree that need to come down ! Can this type of wood be used for charcoal ?
Absolutely. I would split the large logs into smaller pieces though.
@@TURBOLANDRAIDER thank you very much !
What do you us charcoal for...
Some use it for cooking, others for forging metal.
We looked at a few videos and this seemed the most promising. And sure enough was really successful. Thanks very much for the advice and demo. Two very satisfied Brits!
Very glad you had success with this method.
i enjoyed the video, but i still don't understand the need to make charcoal for your grill. you had plenty of red hot coals in your small fire pit. i use oak & maple natural wood in my grill. i take the lid off my 22 inch webber and remove the cooking grate, then take small twigs that fall into my yard from my big oak tree and start a small fire on the bottom grate of my webber. once it gets going good i add some bigger pieces of oak. fill my grill about 1/2 full and let it burn with the lid off until i am left with red hot coals then it's time to put the lid back on and start cooking. i guess the only advantage i could see to using charcoal over wood is you get red hot coals quicker with charcoal than burning wood but not if you take into account the extra time and wood it took you to make that charcoal in the first place. what am i missing here???
Try doing a 13 hour low and slow brisket like that :)

Hi mate, simple, elegant end result. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Let us know how it turns out if you try it.
can you sit the barrel on a fire ( making a fire beneath the barrel ) and seal it on top a make some holes?! i’ve seen this method on smaller objects like ( painting cans ). do you think it gives you same result? and by the way, thank you for your very quick, very informative video <3
Not with this method. I have tried that, and it's not nearly as efficient as this method.
Congratulations - I love the holes on the side!!!
I use this same method in making biochar. Only I use wood chips. Chips are easy to get from a tree service. I spread them out in the sun for a few days to dry. I then run it through a screen, half inch hardware cloth to remove the fine material. The fines impede air flow. It then goes into a barrel, light the top, put the lid on and let it burn, When the fire gets to the bottom of the barrel I remove the chimney unit and put a lid on it. Cover the holes in the bottom of the barrel and let it sit. Using wood chips I don't have to crush it any further and wood chips are easy to get. This is called a top lit up draft system. TLUD for short.
Hi, thank you so much for your very informative and interesting video, I would like to ask just about how many burns those barrels will be able to do, secondly, how many holes and what size ( they seem about 1 inch) did you put at the bottom of the barrel. Looking around I heard people trying a similar method but they moved to a different one because they were producing a lot of smoke no matter how many holes did they put at the bottom, I wonder what your thoghts are regarding this....maybe they did not use wood dried enough or they put something like woodchip which would prevent a good airflow within the barrel. Did you try your method with smaller wood sizes? Thank you very much for your help, Dami.
The barrels last 4 or 5 years and I usually make charcoal once a year. I have tried larger diameter wood, but it won't fully Carbonize if it's too big. My best luck has been with 6 inch logs. As for holes at the bottom... I just guessed on mine. You can put as many as feasible in it and fine tune the burn by shutting them off with sand. Good luck and let us know how it works out for you!
@@TURBOLANDRAIDER thank you so much for your reply, I will try it and let you know thank you very much !
do I need to put holes in the top lid for when I close it? thanks!
You really don't, but you can. I was worried about having an accident, however I think that the sand arrived the bottom would let any sort of built up gasses escape if there was any measurable pressure.
I am probably the LEAST mechanically inclined male in the planet; so, your method was the first I tried. After 3-4 attempts, I am getting great yields for such little effort. Now I have too much and have given some away to neighbors who can’t believe I made my own grilling charcoal. Thank you for your video.
You're very welcome. It's awesome to share with your neighbors!
nice and simple!!! Thank you
Thanks! I tried this myself and have made three excellent loads of softwood charcoal for blacksmithing so far! I stack the barrel all the way to the top with kindling size pieces of pine and fir. It only takes an hour to burn to the bottom being that it’s softwood. Each load lasts over four hours of forging and gets hot enough to melt steel in my brake drum forge in about three minutes. I can now make great forge fuel easily and free! Thanks again!
Afterburner .. is there holes in it ??
Its a cylinder. A tube. Open on top and bottom.
What is red coal?and when to put dirt around the holes!
That's when The wood starts to glow red. When that happens, get your dirt piled around the holes at the bottom
Where can I buy a lid cover like that one?
Mine came with the barrels. I got my barrels at the local feed supply store.
This is a good video and I appreciate your time doing I for us. I have to say that having made charcoal many different ways now and evolving to where I am, this way isn't the best. It's overcooked and the yeild is very low. I went through that although I wasn't using this method. Also the coals are soft. You have probably evolved by now as well. We all are in search of better, well; I am. Thank you, your video is a great help to me.
What time, fire of charcoal.????
You need to keep an eye on the flame front going down. When you see fire and coals at the bottom, use sand to block off oxygen.
@@TURBOLANDRAIDER Thank you very much, good.
After about 2.5 hours I need to take off second barrel from top and put the lib on first, right? What is the best way to take off that second barrel?
Pull it off when you see the flame front drop low enough so that oxygen can not feed the fire from the top. I just push it off the bottom barrel when the time comes.
@@TURBOLANDRAIDER Thank you
How did you get the red coals at the bottom when you lit if from the top? Am i right in thinking once its been charred enough its now recognised as a smokeless material. Can you do the same with wood chips?
The fire draws in oxygen from the bottom and consumes it for combustion, but uses it all up before the wood can burn. I do not think this method would work with wood chips because they pack in so densely, and wouldn't allow airflow from bottom to top. Try it and let us know if it works.
Christ thank you for the simplicity
You're very welcome.
Ashy and incomplete. There are some better ways out on the tubes.
Bought barrels yesterday. Will start when rain stops. Any other tips or tricks? Watched the vid several times so...thx
Short, to the point, and practical. Thank you.
Simples
Wow beautiful! Thumbs up from Dublin (Ireland) ! :)
What kind of wood is this?
Mostly oak, and other hard woods. No pine
Put the holes on the bottom of barrel
Yes.
Deep south Homestead is giving you a shout out!
Thank you for the heads up!
i don't have any barrels, but nice way of making a lot of it :)
What is the woods(tree) name or shall v use any wood??
This is all oak. If you want larger pieces, you'll need to split large logs and pack them in the barrel.
Should you use green wood, dried wood, or does it matter?
Dried wood is best. Green wood will work, however it takes a lot of fire and energy to drive the moisture out, then carbonize.
how do you put a lid on when the barrel's red hot? and where can I get a lid like that?
Use gloves. Also the lid is not hot.... it's sitting of too the side while you're doing the burn. I got mine at a local barrel / metal awning carport place.
An the total rises on the good charcoal makers to the ones who lose because they lost half their charcoal because they forgot to prevent the oxygen from getting back into their cookers. Thank You Loader.
