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.

Using seasoned wood can require quite a bit of time from tree to store, and money tied up in feedstock. Would be hard to start up without previous stock.

Love your video
thank you for this video, please tell me process and optimum temperature for produce gases
I thought this was an interesting video….And then an old guy tells me this thing has an app.
Mind blown!
Governments don't care about rural local workers anymore, they've discarded us in favor of migrants because they are a stable, permanent voting block that is always going to vote the left agenda.
Would it be more efficient to use the charcoal instead of using wood as the fuel?
I cant listen to British ppl for more than 5 minutes until they start talking about how the Gov't gets involved in their lives. Its a disease that they have to overcome.
No.
This is something that I have been looking into – a small unit to convert limbs and wood from storm damage and landscaping scraps to saleable product. Seems the hard part will be convincing stores to sell local products.
