How To Make the Best Charred Punk Wood, Every Time!

You can make one strike ignite charred punk wood, consistently. Start off with the best punkwood, char it in a tin with a large vent hole, and then follow the standard charring procedure. Please find much more detailed charring tutorials in the playlist below.
Today, I used Water Oak punkwood that was lightweight and spongy. I used my normal Murrey's Hairdressing cans with the 1/4" vent holes. I cooked the tin in the flames of the fire not the coals and took it out when the gases stopped coming out. After cooling, I one strike ignited some of the char from all 3 char tins. The second ignition took 2 strikes because the first strike produced no sparks.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I can relate to that description. I was a Pipe Fitter for many years.

[@starlingblack814]

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Cool! TY!

[@hassanalali3955]

Cool thanks for your explanation

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thank you!

[@zm6695]

Thanks for another good video, I am really learning alot of useful knowledge, I never knew how many different ways a fire can be started. Really interesting, thanks.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks friend. I appreciate it!

[@A.J.Collins]

"wood-shaped air" I love it!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

So many people don't catch my "tongue - in - cheek" way of describing things.

[@alparkopp]

Thanks

[@textman111]

I do love watching you make fires. Keep it up. :)

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

LOL! I do love making them. TY!

[@billycrujake4492]

I'm subbed to your channel and I learn a lot thanks for the info, but I have to say in order for you to make char cloth or char punky wood you have to first make a fire, many people don't know how to make a fire without modern lighting devices, so they should keep a 2$ lighter handy.

We live in the opposite climate you do. We're in the Mojave Desert, the low desert. We get some of the hottest temperatures in the country. It's 110 right now. We also get less than 5" of rain a year. Everything is dry and brittle. Nothing is spongy! We also don't have any trees. But there is enough dry scrub to get a fire started.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Sounds like hand drill climate to me.

[@brucefoote540]

Doing what you love. A sight to enjoy!

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Love! this stuff! Thanks for dropping by.

[@MichaelR58]

David , good demonstration , thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Thanks for watching!

[@SRDish]

Really enjoy the various methods you demonstrate. After hearing you mention a while back about the moisture absorption I started saving the little desiccant packs and placing them in my containers to see if that would help preserve the char and char cloth.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

To see if it's working put char in a jar, let it get room temperature or warmer, and put in freezer for a few minutes. The condensate will immediately start forming on the inside walls of the jar, if it's present.

[@tminefski]

David, are you using a file striker and flint rock sparker? Glad I found you today and thanks for passing the knowledge.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Yes. TY!

[@ottodanbyii6253]

Is there a way to make charred punk wood without a tin?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

Yes, that LINK is in the Description and at the end of the video.

[@michaellangley3417]

Have you ever been diagnosed with pyromania?

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

No, but I have been accused of it.
