Step by step instructions on how to make a small batch of hardwood charcoal in your backyard in a single afternoon! Detailed description of the equipment and the entire process. Perfect for the BBQ or the blacksmith forge.
So easy, even a beginner can do it! All you need is a 45 gallon oil drum to use as your burn barrel, an old propane tank, plus a few cheap bits from any hardware store. I'll use white oak firewood, which has been really successful for me. This is well within the abilities of most DIY'ers.
