I HAVE A QUESTION HAS ANYBODY EVERY HEARD OF PEOPLE EATING CHARCOAL AND COAL DUST IT IS VERY TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS WITH WARNINGS ⚠️ IT HAS DANGEROUS CHEMICALS IN THE BAG 🎒 THE PERSON CAN GET CHEMICAL BURNS ON THE MOUTH FINGERS TONGUE 👅 THROAT WHEN SWALLOWING CHARCOAL IT GOES INTO THERI STOMACH THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE LUNGS 🫁 ⚫️ COAL DUST GOES INTO THEM JUST CURIOUS COULD SOMEBODY LEAVE ME A MESSAGE ABOUT THIS THE WOMAN EATS COWBOY CHARCOAL RIGHT OUT OF THE BAG 🎒 SHE ALSO EATS COAL DUST IT IS SO WEIRD ITS CALLED PICA

Modern???? You know man has been making charcoal for centuries 😂 but I do like you design, the way it re-uses the off gas👍

Im haveing a bit of a problem figureing out your system..

I use good ol lighter knot wood to start all fires..i made a bunch of charco..4 inch by 6 inch oak..ive got a big plastic drum of nice charco..im makeing a setup now that will get me 4 plastic drum full of charco...this will last me a long time

Videos like this are why CZcams is the best. I've read about the process but it's good to see it in all its details.

❤🎉🎉❤

Quit drugs, and get some education.

Not burning hot enough

very old way !! use the SUN around you !! think about it !!

Very very slow.. Fucking vedio

Back in the early 90’s : I packed one on the mean streets of East Austin …. For $50.00 , it sure gave Me a decent sense of protection .

ไม่มีปล่องควันใช่ไหม

Watching this guy is torture...once I saw if contraption worked I will never waste that time again. lol

That steam escaping is the woodgas that is supposed to be burning in the pipe down below. Drill more holes in that pipe underneath and you won't need all that wood for burning at the bottom. Letting the steam release like that releases all of your unburned woodgas into the atmosphere.

Get a second wrench to work the union with.

A complete waste of time but I smiled.

I pray that you are made to watch this 10x’s may be then you will have a better understanding of yourself and what you are doing. Next video listen to audio and edit it before you release it

Why all this time far a simplistic demo?

Wrap the wood vessel with fiber glass insulation. And better results 👍

Too dragging with no reason..

I like your design. I take it you used the cut-off bottom to create the barrier between the char chamber and the burner cavity at the bottom. If you use cinder blocks or the like to support it higher off the ground you can devote more of the barrel to the char chamber. Of course that means more wood and a longer burn. What size are the holes you drill in the top of the "T" burner? I'd just take the entry pipe across the barrel and use it as the burner for a simpler design but you might get broader heating with the T. You might get a more even char if you put a chimney pipe up the middle of the barrel from the burn chamber. ?You'll definitely get a better draw and hotter fire but this has its' own complications. I've seen some retort design with an insulating fibreglass blanket around the outside. This loses less heat to the environment and keeps the char chamber hotter. By keeping the ouside wall and lid hotter you might cut down on the amount of wood gas that condenses there as resin. You'll also get more gas to the burner. In terms of elbow grease, this is about the best bang for the buck I've seen for a retort.

A long handled sccop for adding charcoal bits around the centre of the fire woud avoid smothering it.

The top is flat and gasses are no more likely to accumulate at the centre of the lid then at the edge. Why not have your gas return start at the upper rim instead. Then you won't have to undo the pipe every time you load it. You can even put a slight lean into the barrel by propping it up on that side more to make that the high point.

If you want a lot of comments show off a plumbers crack while using a pipe wrench.

I took one apart...slug without tail was .237 oz, with tail was .262.Diameter was .406”-.408” in that .410 bore. I am concerned that my Svarog cast slugs are .412”

Of all the charcoal videos I've watched I like your design the best. Simplest thing I've seen and super effective

Yeah you definitely have to seal your joint well otherwise you’ll get weed all over the place

6 minutes to light a fire super .....

This is the same spot Walter White parks his van no?

Talk about one big pain in the dick........ If you had of been smarter, you woulda used some damn cowboy logic to build that fucker, instead of roughneck logic.... this video woulda been 4 minutes long.......

Can I have a hat and one of those agates haha

seriously, this was amazing a 29:55 video and I'm 90 minutes dumber.

G

"If that doesn't take them down you'd best start apologizing" LMAO

If you eliminated the union and made the hole into the side slightly larger then you could remove the lid and you wouldn’t have the problem of a ‘Tight joint’ ..... bung the side hole with a bit of heat rope.

Great video on how not to do it. Why connect the gas pipe to the lid? Come out the side and no need to undo it every time

Resin, a little heat will soften it right up, even turn it liquid, afterwards, can wash the residual off with water. One good thing about it, it created a seal around the lid and union keeping the air out.

Interesting no chimney? Run a chimney up through the hopper, more heat and more even burn, and may burn the resin more thoroughly, although to keep from burning completely into charcoal, you'll have to snuff your fire earlier, as for starting the fire, I like to make a T.P. of slivers with a layer of twigs, then a layer of small branches over the tinder before I light it through the T.P. "door".

Mine hold 7 shots .

, be ok mom

I've had my model 88 for 20 years. It was used when i bought it and my first shotgun as well. Still ol' reliable.

Weighing before and after firing will tell you how much mass is lost, not volume.

Congrats on the kids, good video too.

Such a awesome mix of colours, even the little ones come up so beautiful. Thank you

Enjoyed the rocks they look awesome :)

Great one,i learnt a lot...on the other hand,how much biomass are you using to fire the Retort?

Great stones you got there ! #thefinders 😁👍👍

So many better retorts. But Heller good try

I should have read the comments first. I lot thirty minutes watching ten minutes of failed charcoal making.
