Very nice. 🔥

I use a double barrel to make charcoal, as I have my own source of wood. I use twigs, small branches and junk in the outer barrel to pyrolyse small logs in the inner barrel.

Its just an open top barrel at 60 degrees. This burn wont yield much as i got distracted by a conversation 🤣🤣

I will see what I can do when I get a chance.

Although it might be better if I draw a diagram, because it's not obvious what's going on when it's once it's loaded and set on fire. It just looks like a burning barrel.

Over winter i plan on doing something similar to make willow charcoal for artists.

That's a great idea.

I planted a ton of willow about 10 years ago. I hear it's good for black powder too. 💣

Looking good. I use a closed top barrel with a saddle cut.
