If you eat walnuts, save the shells and char them as well, because they're hardwood, but remember, it takes about 3 to 5 hours in a very hot fire to get all of them charred, after getting the walnut shells charred I put them in a blender and they make excellent granules to activate them, if you want to filter water. I usually let the canister I put them in stay in the fire until the fire dies down, which will be about 5 hours and let it cool down on there own until the next day.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thays why i always keep my saw dust. Cause after about collecting 20lbs of it, I put it in a 3 gallon pot, takes about an hour and half, 2 hours. And i got a press that i press it into to make little blocks of charcoal. And pine tar is a perfect wood sealer for cracked furniture. Makes a really good glue as well.
Thank you so much for getting right to the point not a lot of useless talking Infact 90% of the reason I subscribed is because of This video thank you so much
Thank you, I have watched too many videos on this topic over the last two days to finally get to one that is 👍PERFECT 👍
I made my first small batch in my fireplace and it turned out great! Thank you for your guidance.
amazing once again you shuld do a vid on all the things you can do with the charcoal so people know why you would want to make some thanks again bro
You're absolutely right Eric, one of the reasons to make charcoal in these times, is if Russia decides to attack the United States, charcoal will help you from getting radiation poisoning, and make a canister with charcoal so you can breath through the charcoal to keep from getting radiation poisoning, but if you don't have food stored in a place covered with charcoal, you're pretty much screwed. Making a mask with charcoal in between two pieces of cloth will keep you safe from any and all viruses and chemical attacks. Just something to consider when making charcoal. I hope I never have to use it, but the way things are going, it's good to be prepared for the worst.
I’d love to see some demonstrations on how to use the charcoal. Great video. Thanks
Thank you !
Thank you, just what I want to know
I like your circle and your chart clock. I love it. I wanna watch from you guys who do Bush. Crafting, and that's how I've been learning it. I know how to make charcoal and a bunch of other things. And I wanna say thank you. And I appreciate your videos. Keep him calm and body
Most definitely needed info! Like the longterm storage. Never know when you'll need some.
The best way to make clean charcoal - very useful.. thank you Dan
You should make a vid about extracting nitrates from topsoil. I love your channel. Thank you for posting!!
Clear concise with warnings that are needed. Thanks.
Best site I've seen☻☻☻☻
This Video just answered all my questions!!! Thanks Dan!!!
Thank you from Northern Michigan.
I need some way to make just a few charcoal with small piece like this, I don't want to build a "furnace". This video is what I'm looking for!
Thanks for the video
Nice! Looks simple and effective.
Wounderful vid Dan you gust amaze me. Thank you!
Always great information Sir this is one amazing channel. Blessings to you and your family 😇🇺🇸
Thank you so much for this great instruction!.. 👍👍
Another great learning tip thanks Dan
I think we all love hard wood.
great way to make small batches for cooking. Thanks for the video.
Great simple little project, thanks for sharing!!!
50,,%or more heat resources are wasted outside your can, not acceptable
Another jimdandy of a video! Thanks!
awersome tip thank you so much for the tip
Excellent video! Leaned something new!
good job Dan
This seems like a much easier process than making a mound of logs, covering it up, and lighting in on fire from the top. Now I'm really eager to have a campfire! :)
Sam Neibauer The reason that primitive technology did this is because you can make a LOT at once and you can reuse the mound. This is small scale
i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Nathan Cassius instablaster ;)
@Valentino Bobby I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Valentino Bobby It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account !
Great tip, appreciate the video.
Love the video. Thanks for the help!!
Love this thanks for sharing
Very good idea
Excellent video. Good job.
Thanks
That's awesome, thanks!
Just started watching your channel. Love the short videos. Great information. Thanks.
This was awsome. Thank you
Easy to follow video, thank you 🙂
Thanks for sharing 👍
Very good information! When using soft wood, it depends on where the wood came from on the tree as to how much pine tar will be produced. Also.. hard and soft wood charcoal have different properties. Hard wood charcoal lasts longer, soft wood charcoal puts out more btu's Thanks for the video...
Hi Dan Thank you once again for an informative and interesting video. ATB from North East England. Nigel
Thx Dan!
Good information Dan cheaper than buying it I’ve made some in a barrel before
Another good one!
Great teaching, thanks
Very good.Thank you very much
Strongly like this video!
Very nice. Thank you
Dan thank you! That was perfect. I really appreciate it
Too simple. Thanks.
That's easy way in the whole world! To rass bless
Hello from the 2020 Covid period! Not particularly paranoid, but this is handy stuff to know. Charcoal is an extremely useful product! Pine tar too I would imagine.. Great video. Short and to the point. Thanks.
Thank you
Great thing,you'll have your own charcoal for water cleaning or other purpose.Well done,bro!👍
Is it feasible to do this in a woodstove? Seems like it would be. We heat with our woodburner all winter, so it would be easy to add a tin every night and build up a good supply.
PA woodsmen rule!
Useful......
Great , Thank .
So simply!!!! I have bunch little chunks of hickory going to lowes get me a paint can a new .....
Nice😊
Holy shit. Techno Viking.
Thanks for sharing, Prof. Class dismissed.
Awesome, so much good content, easy to understand, you have a new subscriber. ATB
This is a great way to put a fire to use multi tasking. Just throw the can in you campfire or backyard bonfire while you're cooking or making Smores.
Throw some punky chunks in there...makes the best ember going, imo.
This is a great video. No more chemical-laden store charcoal for me.
Organic charcoal...no gmo's or chemicals. Good video.
🇮🇩 indonesia coming
Is this the same as activated charcoal? Great vid btw
Didn't they use it back in the by gone days to make black gunpowder by grinding it up fine and adding sulpher and saltpeter?
you are full of surprises Dan , man would I love to have the skill you have so all the best to you Dan . about charcoal when I was a kid my mother for all I can remember used to take Eucarbon pills and at once in a while take a break from them . I wonder what other benefits other than killing poison in the system and reducing fat and gas ?
I’ve made char cloth. Time to make some charcoal
Can you make char in a coffee grinds tin can?
My studies tell me that soft wood is best for making charcoal for black powder. Other than that, this is how I plan to make it.
we got many coconuts here. i heard we can use that to make charcoal too. do u think we should dry up the coconut first or can make from fresh? thx for showing this simple way making charcoal. and must woods use must be dried? can we use cans as thin as coke can?
Put a grid in the bottom and catch the pine oil resins, they have there own uses.
Make a video on how to use that
Can mulberry be used to make charcoal?
Good demonstration. Charcoal is so useful. Where did you get the stainless steel container?
Ollies has 6-qt stainless steel stockpots, with lids, for ca. $5. The smoke can come out from around the lid just as good as through a hole...
a paint can can also be used.punch hole in top and cook.
Neat video! I was wondering if there was a way to make small amounts of charcoal without a kiln or pit, so this was quite helpful! Question tho, what kind of jar or bucket is best suited for this? Are there particular materials that wont melt or warp that i need to consider?
Do you receive more heat out of the coal than you put into making the coal?
Can you do a video using the gimlet in its various applications?
Thank You. how much wood do you burn to make that small amount of charcoal? Is the trade off worth it? I would use the charcoal for cooking. Again Thank You.
Whats the advantage of making charcoal vs just burning the wood? What happens if ur coal gets wet? Can it get wet overnight from condensation?
If you decide to make black powder I found grape vine 1" and up cut into pieces 2" long makes good char. Also I tried denatured alcohol instead of water to mix. Dry time was way faster, and it grated better. I saw how to make black powder on a KZhead video. Check it out.
Nice video but is it possible to get the wood to burn itself rather than 2 and a half hours worth of other maybe hard to get wood?
What about th3 wood in the firepit is that useful?
One question: how long do we have to cook the charcoal in the fire? Because the charcoal may turn out bad if I take it out too early or too late.
Can you use any kind of can ?
Where did you get your container and what is it made of?
Can you tell me what kind of container you used? Thanks!
will that take a spark from flint and steal?
I hear what you are saying about pine, but any advice for someone that wants to make charcoal and pine trees and aspen is all there is?
What kind of container was that? Was that from a certain food/ product, or was it a lucky find somewhere? After watching the video, I went on a search to find something similar, but can't find anything without a plastic/ rubber lid, or gasket
Dan can you explain something to me, I know that pretty much any natural material can get charred because of carbon content, what I don't understand is why the difference between "punk wood" and just charring hard wood like you did here?
I need to make charcoal in larger batches - think 55 gallon drum. My problem is I need to use pine. How do I remove all the tar from the equipment afterwards? That is my biggest hold up.
