Making Charcoal with the Exeter Retort
By woodlandstv
Slow connection? Watch in lower quality
Alan and Jo Waters are expert charcoal makers with many years experience of this traditional skill from the land they coppice. Here they speak about the benefits of charcoal production using the Exeter Retort. They join with Geoff Self and Robin Rawle, designers and manufacturers of this Retort, to explain their experiences of the benefits of this method compared to traditional ring kilns - that the Retort produces more charcoal, that it has a shorter burn time, is cleaner, more efficient, easily accessible and transportable, and that it ultimately produces better quality charcoal - ideal for small woodland owners.

Your not that bright are you lad? You should learn to type/write correctly first before attempting insulting people with your childlike text, take a look at your scrawl man, does that look normal to you?
How effective is using forestry commission waste i.e. windblow etc, Sitka, Larch and maybe some Scots pine
MY childish text ha ha ha ok you win now FUCK OFF mr anonymous,
Yep, there it is again 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful video!
The thing about charcoal is it's almost pure carbon, so regardless of the input ingredients, the end result is virtually the same, and when sold by weight, there's really no 'best' charcoal. Obviously denser woods make a longer lasting /hotter charcoal per unit of volume, but it is what it is. I've watched more videos about charcoal than one person probably should, from videos of Amazonian and South American tribes making it with slash to people in more developed areas with nice electric steel retorts, and one thing is common: people use what's availiable to them. That's the point. Pacific islanders use palm fronds, bamboo and soft woods, in Africa i've seen them use comunal bio-waste, in Japan they use white oak, in Europe they use what's local, in the States we use what's local. I've seen guys make 'tlud kilns' out of 55-gallon drums filled with shredded utility-line trimmings with all manner of tree and plant material.
one of the best videos i have seen.
anyone know where i could see this retort running?
government suppression at its best.
You know that shiny black stuff you have been digging up? some of it would have contained dinosaur poop.
