00:00 - If you're like us making something out of the ordinary really turns your crank. That's what happens here. One would normally run out to your local hardware store to purchase lump charcoal for your charcoal grill but when we have the time we make our own. The nice part about this is you get to choose your hardwood with no chemicals of any kind and you can make as much as you can for next to nothing. Homemade lump charcoal is so easy to make and is incredible for the grill. There is a sense of satisfaction when you can make your own and it gives you bragging rights as you light up the charcoal grill to entertain your family and friends.
Here is how we do it.
ITEMS YOU NEED
1 - 45 gallon (55 US gallon) drum with lid off
1 - 15 gallon (18 US gallon) drum with detachable lid
Hardwood firewood
Scrap Firewood (could be anything from shop scrap to dried branches)
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO SET UP
• For the 15 gallon (18 US Gallon) drum 04:38
- Turn the drum upside down and bore ½“ holes on the bottom a little all over covering the area
• For the 45 gallon (55 US Gallon) drum. Notice this at 04:40 of the video
- On the sidewalls on the bottom 10 inches bore 1” holes on 2 rows all the way around spacing the rows app 4” and the holes on each row app 8 to 10” to create air flow from the bottom
• Place the smaller drum inside the larger one in the middle as to leave room around it to add the scrap firewood. 05:00
• Load the smaller drum with the wood that you will use to make the lump charcoal. Fill it with as much wood as you can fit in but make sure that you will be able to close its cover 05:10
• Fill the gap between the larger drum and the smaller drum with scrap wood. Put as much as you can making sure you have highly flammable dry pieces at the very top 05:58
• Our cover for the smaller drum is getting old so we placed some brick on top of it to keep snug and closed. 07:35
• Once the cover on the smaller drum is closed, continue filling the larger drum with scrap wood until it is full right to the top
• Using whatever method you want ignite the wood from the top all the way around
• Now you leave it burn until the scrap wood has completely burned out. Will take approximately 2½ to 3 hours
• Now refrain from opening the lid on the smaller drum until the following morning because if you do there will be enough oxygen available to ignite your lump charcoal rendering them to useless ashes.
And there you have it. Simple and amazing
ENJOY!!! Your homemade lump charcoal.

Yes - I use this method and it works very well. There is no need, though, to use an inner barrel with a lid, or to punch holes in the bottom. Simply put the inner barrel in upside down and the wood gas will escape from under the rim just fine. Once your wood has converted to charcoal, there is enough ash in the bottom of the big barrel to seal out any air from getting back in whilst its cooling.

@@bbqjoesrecipesforthebbqent226 You're welcome! Thanks for reponding. I've been learning the art of charcoal-making over the past few years and love to see how other peoople do it. If you look on KZfaq, you'll see that the Thai people are very good at it (it's something of a village industry there) and some of their designs using simple arrangements of barrels, metal tubes and bricks are ingenious. I own some woodland in the UK and making / selling charcoal helps offset some of the costs. As well as lumpwood barbecue charcoal I also make sticks of artists' willow charcoal for drawing and charcloth for bushcraft types. The best seller by far, though, is "horticultural charcoal" - very trendy at the moment. Basically, it''s just the fines and dust that's left over after you've taken out the larger lumps for the barbecue (all the stuff you usually don't know what to do with!). People turn it into "biochar" for their pot plants and gardens. All the best and Happy Charcoaling!

@@bbqjoesrecipesforthebbqent226 well if you lookup codys lab channel on youtube he does an experiment with charcoal. Basically lump charcoal made with low temperatures in low oxygen or basically he used store bought lump charcoal. He then made charcoal in high heat like in a pit or something. So you get a level of coals and then add more wood until the hole or trench is full of coals and you flood it with water. The key difference is absorption. Store bought charcoal absorbed like 10 something of iodine. But charcoal made in high heat like a campfire absorbed 30 while activated carbon absorbed like 90 maybe. Look up skillzcult channel on youtube on the trenchmethod of making biochar or charcoal. It's what i did. My brother made a four foot wide by three foot deep by eight feet long trench. We just burned like a trailer load of wood in a few hours and then drenched the coals. It's honestly far to time consuming to make charcoal in some containers when the trench method is so much quicker. That is if you need it for the garden or to add to your lawn for instance. But I'll definitely have to try your barrel method cause I have a ton of fruit tree trimmings and lump charcoal probably has more heat in it still vs charcoal made in a high heat trench method.

Thank you very much. As far as putting a hole in the cover of the retort, please do not do that. We want to eliminate as much oxygen as we can from getting to the wood inside the retort. The gases are released through the holes at the bottom. Too much oxygen will create ash. The method used in the video assures that you will be getting pure lump charcoal with very little to no ash at all.

I am happy that you are thinking of making your own lump charcoal and ash is an awesome wood to use for charcoal. Instead of explaining to you why I there are small holes in the retort I will put a link here for an awesome video to watch on making bio-char which is exactly the same process as making lump charcoal. This fellow explains the process very precisely and accurately. You can then make your own conclusion on this one. The small holes on the bottom do not draw in oxygen but rather release the wood gas from the wood. Here is the link. A great video to watch. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdx-mpionL29YJ8.html

This way because of the holes in the bottom of the large barrel will provide air to the fire on top the wood will burn slowly as the flames move from the top to the bottom.

Thank you Bradley. Yes the smaller drum is sitting directly on the bottom of the 55 gallon drum. It's important that basically no oxygen gets to the wood inside the smaller barrel. That will create pressure and the gases will escape through the bottom holes of the 16 gallon drum perfectly and will burn away and we will be left with lump charcoal. If oxygen gets to the inside of the smaller drum then the wood will burn off and become ash.

@@bbqjoesrecipesforthebbqent226 Thank you for replying. I was surprised at how little smoke I get from my own charcoal - almond wood - compared to the commercial stuff which probably goes a long way to confirming our suspicions. I get clean cooking results, and my neighbours here in Spain used to produce most of the charcoal used in Britain back in the day, and they have complimented me on my results. When packing my container, I lay it down at about 45 degrees and lay in the wood so that it will stand vertically later. This position helps me to reduce empty space to a minimum as I pack it and maximise the amount of charcoal that results. I also cut the pieces to be half the internal height of the container, giving two layers of wood of ultimately similar size, and I have very little dust in the finished product. You're right about the noise and flames from the opening. I think it's great fun, and I'm pleased to see you enjoy the process as well. Regards.

We use it in our Weber Kettle to cook. Works real well. Store it in a large paper bag. It also gives us a sense of satisfaction that we can actually make this ourselves.

Yes but it was a lot of fun doing it and proves anyone can do it. I usually take any scrap wood that I can find for the outer wood and quality wood for the inside barrel. I have a 40 acre forested property so wood is not a problem.

Even better it is probably carbon neutral. You are using plants and they will chow down on the dioxide you put into the air. I am sure briquets have fossil fuel used all over the contributing processes. I wonder if you could do the same with corncobs?

For $10 you can buy more than you ended up finished product. Use and offset smoker and skip the extra work. Go fishing instead.

Agreed but there is a satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment when you can do your own. To each their own on this one. By the way making my own charcoal didn't cost me a dime just my time

The title of this video should be how Dumb and Dumber converts 100 lb of wood into 10 lb of charcoal. The most inefficient way possible.

It all depends how you look at it when you have 40 acres of Maple Wood available to you. Anything that you do it yourself, labour is never considered. It's a labour of love at the end of the day.
