No, I didn't use all that pile. It usually takes about half as much wood ass the coaling wood, sometimes a little more.

@@leesauder969 i had my first trial of making charcoal with steel barrel, actually my very first of any system of charcoal making.....when some old man came he told me about ive used more fuel than what im supposed to make into charcoal, which he has a point when compared with the traditional way they do here, the wood burns itself..but i like this baking type and i think i have to adjust..could you just peek into my upload and give some advice?

@bradpalmer6098 3 жыл бұрын
hi lee could the process be intergrated into your normal forge routine eg building a smaller vessel on top of your forge/furnace with a overhead chimney / extraction of gasses or smoke ? it seem's a lot of fuel and energy could be cycled in onto itself to compliment your forge running [ not trying to change your creation i'm just new to forging ] my idea is a simple hand crank coal forge built into a lpg style forge with a speed control electric fan backup plumbed into the hand crank piping and have lpg gas into that same line [between fire and fan] with the coal being heated aided by air induction and gas assisted the box of unburnt wood on top [large piping to prevent blockages] the gasses from that feed back under the coal forging fire = so your working forge is assisted by the wood you burn off for the forge ? hope it makes sense and i'm not making a uncontrollable cycle of flame [ heat fuel air ] take one away and it's controlled so air flow control is key

That process is inefficient , you spend too much wood to obtain a little amount of charcoal, it doesn't make any sense .
@leesauder969 4 жыл бұрын
"Efficiency" is situational. This is one of the methods that works well for my situation. It consumes about as much wood in the firebox as is in the coaling chamber, and the wood used in the fuel box is wood that is not suitable for charring. I have made about a ton of charcoal a year for the last 20 years, using a wide variety of different methods. If it doesn't make sense to you, that isn't my problem.

Believe me ,you don't need to waste that much wood but if you like burning wood for nothing it is ok . it actually exist a similar device where you only burn the wood that become charcoal , whitout such a forest fire risks. Best regards.

This method provides a full square profile IN ONE PLANE ONLY. This is tolerable if the view is perpendicular to this one plane. This method does not provide for a full cross section through the entire corner the dimension of the parent stock. This is apparent in the first bend. The so-called 'pooch' mass is only partially equivalent to the outside stretched mass and does not fill in the mass lost in the radiused corner. This is partially the result of the difference of compressive strength vs tensile strength. The greatist difference is in the topological morphology. That is, the volume of the two idea forms are different, a radiused outside corner with sharp inside corner has less volume than a fully square corner.
@leesauder969 4 жыл бұрын
This comment is incorrect, this method done properly gives full dimension in both planes.

I have watched a number of videos on making charcoal, and this setup seems to give the most thought and care to making efficient use of the heat being generated with the cowling and the re-direction of the gasses from the top chamber. It seems quite efficient. Others commented that it takes a lot of wood to run, but it's a big box on top and a much bigger payload than one 55- or 30-gal drum. ;) So, you use all of the charcoal that you make for your own blacksmithing work? If you were to sell charcoal, how much would you sell it for?

@@leesauder969 i tend to look at the carbon going up in the fuel that makes what you call good charcoal. i think saving it from polluting the atmosphere is an important element in why make charcoal, no matter the quality you categorize it as. For example it could just be worked into the soil or used as water filtration in drainage ditch or in rail barrels or just put in barns for oder control even. is there such a thing as bad charcoal? You do not capture the heat but do burn very hot so most harmful gases are destroyed, but all in all i must say good job except for wasted heat and wasted fuel. Have you thought of insulating? Is burning used oil a good thing for our atmosphere? Its just that I don't see your operation as clean burning, sorry

wow, great video. definitely the quickest demonstration of forging a square corner i have seen thus far. At first I didnt like the idea of the initial fold as I worried the inside corner could possibly crack or split after you open it back up to finish forging the 90. Although as long as proper heat is used im sure you could easily avoid that. cant wait to try this!!
