<br>
<br>
I never had the time to try your Pyramid carbonizer with wood but
some of the nicest wood charcoal that I've produced was made on
the ground in small amounts. I just started a fire and kept adding
wood on top as long as it burned clean. To stop the process I
covered it with 1/2 of a 55 gallon drum.<br>
<br>
I did try your Pyramid with weed bales without much luck BUT I did
have results applying the Roger Simpson method with a Pyramid/Cone
pile.<br>
<br>
<br>

Cheers,<br>

charcoal making is "autopyrolysis". Most people think Charcoal
has to be made in heated kilns, but you can be in business today
much more simply. Once lit, dry fuel will auto-pyrolyse using
the burning cellulose to pyrolyse the 20% lignin which converts
to charcoal.</span></blockquote>
