Take a drum with a removable lid. Stand it up with the open end up. At the bottom, cut holes evenly spaced around the perimeter as intake vents . Fill the barrel with small woods, main thing is that you have the barrel fairly tightly packed.
Start a fire on bottom of the barrelful of wood. Let it burn down to the bottom vents- this might take 12 to 24 hours. Put the lid on the barrel, and toss some dirt and mud on the vents to seal them. Come back in the morning when it’s cooled, and harvest your charcoal. That’s it.
One of the advantages of this method is that all the steam and gases produced by the distillation have to pass by the hottest part of the fire, which tends to clear them up. If you keep a little fire going on top of the pile as it settles, this will help burn off those gases as well, and give you a little extra charcoal, though the extra charcoal is not of as good quality.
