Add a teaspoon of lemon juice per cup of sugarcane juice. It will prevent browning/oxidation.

Actually not sure of the tree’s name. We just call it our rain Forrest tree, it is the tallest tree we have on our land, and the eagles in the area love it!

It looks like a quartz fiber insulation blanket. It is a refractory material used a lot in kilns and furnaces.

Thank you for sharing! We later recalled first trying the purple variety in Thailand. We found the green variety to be more juicy and tasty 😋

@@thefreegivores i have to agree! And allow me to say your channel is fabulous. We cannot wait to see you open your dream restaurant! ♥️🙌

No certification or prior experience… we just jumped straight in…we had some guidance in the beginning but most of understanding and know-how has come from learning by doing things ourselves, over the past 2 years

Amazing to hear!! The cubes of sugarcane that we cut and ate felt like the most perfect healthy “sweet treat” AND it’s so hydrating and good for the teeth! It’s such a shame that this pure goodness has been “lost” with all the commercial, processed and addictive products lining pretty much every supermarket out there!

So far we have not even harvested one. At this stage we’ve planted sweet potato as a ground cover and as an “emergency crop/resource”, if needed at a some point in the future.

For selling?

Hi, it a ceramic fibre blanket. It is used to maintain the heat better I believe. I am sure if could work without it I was only following a design on saw on the web. Good luck 🤞🏼

@@thefreegivores Id guess the insulation is to keep the temperature in the oven uniform. It also helps prevent children and animals from getting severe burns from touching hot steel.

Thanks for your feedback. We’ve been gifted rice husk charcoal once before but have never tried to make it ourselves. At this stage, we are utilizing by products from this land, for making biochar and rice husk is not something we currently have on this land…

Thanks for the tip! Although I cannot seem to make out exactly what you mean, from your message 🙃

You need to use the wood gas that is created in the drum (flamable) to use it as a secondary fuel. (redirect it to the burning tube). Watch '' rt1000 charcoal retort'' from ''4 seasons fuels''. Basically the principle of a double burn wood stove. Hope it helps

@@Wilderness_Tv Great Idea. You are talking about placing a pipe into the lid in the top and then routing that pipe down the side, underneath and then up a little bit into the flame tube. ... That is awesome. So you are using the gas pressure inside to fuel the fire. A bit of this might be going on all ready because the lid is shut the only place for gas to exit would be out of the holes at the bottom. Another approach if there is not enough pressure would be to use a small turbo charger on the exhaust tube. The exhaust tube would need to neck down to create more flow velocity. Once the fire got hot the turbocharger would spool up and pump the woodgas into the bottom flame inlet. If you had enough wood it would be very effective.

No not from the top or you'll get steam in it more like from the middle. You must be careful the flame does not come inside from the pipe / same goes for kiln burner that must be separate from the charcoal exauhst vapor pipe.

But yes this is the idea.

Ceramic Fiber

Sorry for the late reply, I recall that it is a ceramic fiber blanket that I used

@@thefreegivores ok thank you

Not sure exactly how often but the locals tell us that every year there is usually a period known for strong winds that pass through this district…hence kite season in Bali 🪁

Thank you James 😊

Good to hear 😃 no, we do not get monkeys

@@thefreegivores You are so very lucky haha .. They eat everything:(
