Thank you 🙂 The result is very dependent on the quality of the pine wood, i.e. the content of resin in the wood. Pine roots may be rich in resin, but in the old days the pine tree could be cut in a way that it would produce resin-rich wood also in stem and branches. The pine uses resin to protect damaged parts after for example broken branches during storms.

Just do it.

They flared the outer one. As seen being adjusted in the video.

Yes

@@Localghosts44 so now you have fuel for a charcoal gasifier to run your generator.

@@Localghosts44 What about gas ? Is the gas usable too.?

@@booomer180 Yes pyrolysis gas can be burnt to generate heat.

We did not add anything to the tar we extracted. It was not sold, either. We used it for our own wooden boats in the local coastal culture association. We did not measure wood moisture or temperature, but it is recommended to use well dried wood. I do not know if it can be used with palm kernel shell. I read on the net that biodiesel is extracted from palm kernel. The pine wood we used was rich in a solid state resin, while palm kernel might have a more oily content? The more liquefied content, the higher chance for producing hydrocarbons in gas form when heated? I would be careful.....

@@matsopp thanks for the tips is very useful.

It gets a bit thicker, but does not harden. Hardening happens after it is used on wood and has become weathered from sun and wind. That takes weeks in the warm season.

About 6 to 8 hours from the fire was lit.

The first stuff was not dumped. The stuff that it look like we "dump" is water to cool the drainage pipe from the tar extraction tank. The collection bucket is still in place while cooling the pipe.

Tar is a wood resin that is used for impregnating wood like wooden boats and buildings.
