This is the cleanest and least wasted charcoal making technique I've ever seen on KZfaq. A huge respect bro

Mr. Jon, I thank you for all the great knowledge you share. This is important information considering all the turmoil in the world. I laugh at some of the comments expecting more efficiency and less waste. They don’t seem to understand that these are survival skills. Peace to you my friend, from Midwest USA!

This is basically a giant rocket stove with a drum around it. If you put a crucible on the top of that flame you could melt metal garbage like cans and cast them into useful tools.

I have seen and watched videos on KZfaq, trying to glean information on clean smoke free charcoal making, all other where blablablabla and poor kiln, difficult to understand systems. This one by You is clear with no ambiguity. Thanks verymuch

Greetings from Ontario, Canada. This is very interesting. I will definitely try this in the next few months after I finish some other projects. Thank you very much! :-)

Awesome video👏👏 Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about making charcoal in an efficient way 👍👍

Thanks for the video, very informative. I also use the coal for the garden, it helps save water and is good for the plants.

Thank you for sharing the details. I've watched many similar videos, most from Thailand but none have English subtitles and it's difficult to use google translate. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain the build in English. Best wishes.

Thank you for the another knowledge Mr. Jon ....👍🏼

Excellent demonstration. Thank you for sharing.

This is definitely the best charcoal making technique I've seen so far, and so simple basically anyone can do it. I think if you could use some of the heat that's escaping through the chimney it would be even better. Maybe heat some water with it, (several cubic meters:), or add a "sand battery" at the top to store it... Maybe I'll try that myself :) Thank you for sharing.

Thank you guys so much for sharing your knowledge with the world.❤

Thank you for sharing this best method ever seen👏🏼👏🏼

Thats the best example of rocket I've seen. Harness all that heat to heat water. Great job.

This is a great take on carbonisation of wood. I love the fact that I can actually apply this method without annoying my neighbours with rising smoke. Many thanks for making and sharing this video.

Excellent information as usual,,waiting for the next video 👍

Fantastic knowledge, thank you for sharing! 👍👍👍✔✔✔✔💪💪💪

I salute you sir. Fantastic job 👏 thanks for sharing us. Climate change addressed

This method is very good. I was amazed to see the leaves come out without losing their original shape.

Thanks excellent information. Your knowledge is much appreciated 🙏🏾✌🏾💡❤️🌎❤️

Thank you very much for the video. I hope next time we can see how we can use the charcoal for cooking or for another applications.

Your design is the best! For my neighborhood, I may make an extension for the exhaust with holes in it so more combustion products can be cleanly burned and produce less flame light.

Never seen such an efficient system ...good job ❤

Very good idea! Smart people making smart invention.

Think we can also bake or bisque pottery/ terracotta with the same process 😅 this technique was amazing 👍

Iam Abdul from India..... Awesome job....🌹🌹

A❤very well explain through drawing 🎉

A very ingenious idea. You have used a rocket stove to heat the wood for charcoal. It would be good to use the excess heat generated by the fire to use to heat a steam boiler for a generator or use to heat an earth oven for baking. I really enjoyed this, and it has given me ideas. Thank you.

Most efficient I've ever seen. The outgases enter the pipe at the bottom and are burned in the pipe, adding to the heat supplied by the device. Usually that wood gas is just wasted in other charcoal reactors.

Wow, you could boil water for the whole village on that flame! Love it, I would like to make an explanation with more engineering thoughts.

Mchisimas gracias gran material mi hermano un abrazo.

Thank you for this idea.

Brilliant working idea.

very nice.. you can harness that fire too

Amazing.. wow 😲😲😲😲 thank u

Man of great prestige 😊👍

Wow lot of heater@ It can be used for heating water for a pool. I was thinking of a wood oven design producing charcoal at the same time, with this technic I have a really an idea

Fantastic very interesting 👍

Amazing technic thanks

Thank you JJ for this. However, I would encourage you to also look into biogas, it's more sustainable. Wood is very expensive in our rural area and there's a ban to cut trees, so as an alternative we're looking into investing in biogas.

Thank you JJ

من الرسم قمت بعمل لايك . ووجدت انه فعلا يستحق أكثر من لايك . ... 😊 السوال هل يوصل الكهرباء ولا يخرج منه كهرباء. ❓❓❓

Really very innovative

Thank you for sharing

Excellent .... Thanks ...

Dear @JonJandaiLifeisEasy This technique is way far better and simple for elderly farmers who have been working so hard in the village all their life. I've tried it with an elderly who is now about 70 years old a few days ago in the village. My goal is to help them in order to fulfill my life journey with my willingness and eagerness to ease towards sustainable lifestyle. The only hurdles I have experience is in my region our industry and technology is still far behind than in Thailand due to the reason known itself. It is a lot more affordable to get SS304 6" stainless steel pipe in Thailand which is 50% cheaper than I could get it here in Sarawak. Unless, I am buying in several tonnes shipping using containers. Thank you for sharing this. It took some courage and some capital to do this project. It cost me about US$500 to complete one set here in my region.

Brilliant idea

Thanks for this video. You are correct, energy and fresh water will be in short supply in the future. How good will bamboo charcoal made with this technique be?

Hello Jon, this is a really great video and a great technique, thanks very much for sharing! How do you get the insulation material in a place like Thailand?

I’ve seen people make this kind of retort where an additional pipe is attached to the charcoal chamber that pipes the volatile gases out of the chamber and into the fire chamber. Have you tried this? It seems like it would help to keep the creosote formation down within the charcoal chamber while simultaneously increasing the heat of the fire. Great video👍

Hi JJ. Thanks ever so much for this excellent video. I tried this using palm kennel shells to make charcoal. All the charcoal around the pipe was very well burnt. The other half near the edges of the barrel not. The palm kennel filling in the barrel is much more dense than the wood. Do you have any idea as to how i can make it work? Thanks again for the great video!

It's a big rocket stove. The heat should be used for any good use of melting or boiling. If it's just for cooking, biogas would be cheap and useful.

Thank you.

Hello Jan. Thank you for bringing good value to humanity. Can you confirm if this system will char rice husk? If not, can you look into an efficient way and share?

Hello, are we able to make the center pipe as rectangular section instead of circular section ? Pls advice

Thank you

Well Done, rock wool might be more available & less expensive insulation: ROCKWOOL ROXUL SAFE products can withstand intense heat up to 2150°F (1177°C) without melting, producing smoke or propagating flames.

bro jon, you have wonderful community projects that i am thinking of replicating here in the Philippines. I am engaged in gardening but I do not own the farmlot, it is inside the school campus. You have said in your previous video for Life is Easy, that you started your planting project using your mother's small portion of farmlot. Then after several years you were able to purchase a bigger farmland through your savings. My question now are: 1. When did you started the Pun Pun Community? 2. How did you purchased the land? Do you have partner-investors? 3. How many hectares? 4. How and when did you involved people in your project? Do they came from the same locality or the people came from other places when you started?? Thank you bro jon, i am always watching all your videos, very informative.

Hi Mr Jon thank you for sharing the videos Simple yet efficient method want to try for coconaut charcoal...👍 I am a bit curious about the hole in the pipe, could you please give a bit of explaination the purpose of the hole?

Did you feed the fire from the bottom after the sticks on the bottom rack burned out?

Thank for new charcoal practice, Mr Jon Jandai -How long can this tool be used before it breaks ? -Can it be used for making coconut shell charcoal?

May I know, hat is the disadvantage if we could only use 5" inches pipe instead?

Thank you very much for the video!

If I don't have insulation (ceramic fiber) , what should I do.@

Note another interesting technique is the gasifier technique, where you use the gas for cooking. No smoke, too. And you also produce charcoal.

Thanks u a lot for giving clear explanation about the process of making charcoal. M'y question for you sir ,is to know thé way anybody want to make a lot of charcoal if WE wide thé capacity of thé main drum and give more dia to thé burner pipe will WE still get good result ? Once again thanks

Can dry saw dust be better categorized using this method?

Hi Jon Jandai. I built this according to your guidance and I have already made two batches of charcoal. However, I had one problem: I had a really hard time keeping the gases from escaping in the gap between the chimney and the top of the drum. I kept adding wet mud and it helped for a while but later the smoke had made it's way through it again. It seems like you guys were really good at sealing it up really good, but did you also have that challenge? Anyways, thanks a lot for sharing, this is what is awesome about youtube and people like you who share this content for us likeminded people

Cool!

Well done you have made bio charcoal

I have seen many different charcoal ovens and this is by far the best yet. I'm on an island in the Philippines and doubt I can get the layer of insulation here. Could the drum be in a mud brick tower and use sand as insulation?

Much much better option than making charcoal in the ground 💚💛🧡

How thick is the wall of the pipe? How many burns will the pipe last? Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

Excellent

ka pai 👌👍

Thanks alot for this research, my question is how much charcoal can this can put out at full capacity ? Thanks again .

Very nice

Couldn't u collect the gas the wood is creating to run generator engines instead of just burning it off?

Please mention the output ratio of wood to charcoal in weight.

I was surprised to see a monk teaching people in your culture something so useful as this, western media does not portray Monks as good helpful contributors to society like seen here.

It's a giant wood gas stove.. nice

is the result makeing a charcoal or Biochar?

How many times can you use the barrel?

6:17 concrete and fire do not go well together. concrete contains a small amount of water inside of it's morter which makes the rock explode when the water turns into a pressurized gas.

Can we use coconut shell for this?

Awesome

I believe, if you cool down the gas coming out on the top, you can try run a generator with it.

Can this kiln be integrated with wood gasifier to produce fuel?

Do you give a link of charcoal making from jute stick?

Can anyone help me guys. How long does it take to get the charcoal totally cooked in this barrel? Please help

Sir jon, this is an awesome video. Just wanted to ask, When the fire starts, Do you keep putting small stick woods at the top to keep the fire burning? Or just at the start.

Please can I use this technique to carbonised sawdust?

wood burned in this manner be used as biochar?

you can also use bamboo or coconut fibers to make charcoal. basic scrap. you dont have to go out of your way to buy wood. some places may have tree landscaping companies just give you free wood because they dont want to go to a disposal facility.

It conducts electricity or ceates it?!? ...great vid tytytyy

How long is fire burnning?

Where do you get ceramic fiber?

I got a question. How fid you got so much land for the creation of the farm.

Can I do this for coconut shell?

Since i had seen this video i wanted to make charcoal to be able to earn a leaving for myself and also empower the women and the youth from my community and i am about there.
