Charcoal making with no smoke. The 2nd techniques.

[@scottsnodgrass4361]

Mr. Jon, I thank you for all the great knowledge you share. This is important information considering all the turmoil in the world. I laugh at some of the comments expecting more efficiency and less waste. They don’t seem to understand that these are survival skills. Peace to you my friend, from Midwest USA!

[@martinsaiyagbonrule9062]

I have seen and watched videos on KZbin, trying to glean information on clean smoke free charcoal making, all other where blablablabla and poor kiln, difficult to understand systems. This one by You is clear with no ambiguity. Thanks verymuch

[@jessegriffin9]

This is the cleanest and least wasted charcoal making technique I've ever seen on KZbin. A huge respect bro

[@fullcircle4723]

Thats the best example of rocket I've seen. Harness all that heat to heat water. Great job.

[@Not_really]

This is a great take on carbonisation of wood. I love the fact that I can actually apply this method without annoying my neighbours with rising smoke. Many thanks for making and sharing this video.

[@venkateshnayak9485]

Its a gr8 technique. But carbon with max porosity happens between 350 to 500degrees. At 1000 odd degree u hv less porosity. Carbon sequestration is good at this temp but max below 500 degrees

[@JankyShack]

This is basically a giant rocket stove with a drum around it. If you put a crucible on the top of that flame you could melt metal garbage like cans and cast them into useful tools.

[@firstname-qq3xp]

Seems dangerous if the crucible falls down with molten metal.

[@ZsOtherBrother]

This is definitely the best charcoal making technique I've seen so far, and so simple basically anyone can do it. I think if you could use some of the heat that's escaping through the chimney it would be even better. Maybe heat some water with it, (several cubic meters:), or add a "sand battery" at the top to store it... Maybe I'll try that myself :) Thank you for sharing.

[@JungleJoeVN]

This method is very good. I was amazed to see the leaves come out without losing their original shape.

[@neilyakuza6595]

A very ingenious idea. You have used a rocket stove to heat the wood for charcoal. It would be good to use the excess heat generated by the fire to use to heat a steam boiler for a generator or use to heat an earth oven for baking. I really enjoyed this, and it has given me ideas. Thank you.

[@armandbourque2468]

Or a thermal motor to run the fan that makes the rocket stove work better. Or a generator to charge batteries.

[@harrymills2770]

Most efficient I've ever seen. The outgases enter the pipe at the bottom and are burned in the pipe, adding to the heat supplied by the device. Usually that wood gas is just wasted in other charcoal reactors.

Hello Jan. Thank you for bringing good value to humanity. Can you confirm if this system will char rice husk? If not, can you look into an efficient way and share?

[@JonJandaiLifeisEasy]

Making charcoal from rice husk is very hard to make it hot up to1,000 degree. It contain more tar.

[@ClementOngera]

Thank you JJ for this. However, I would encourage you to also look into biogas, it's more sustainable. Wood is very expensive in our rural area and there's a ban to cut trees, so as an alternative we're looking into investing in biogas.

[@JonJandaiLifeisEasy]

We have less trees in our area before but we plant more in the last 5 -7 years now we have more than we need.

[@ricarpabustansorbeto9153]

I think we can use old woods from house demolished to make charcoal!

[@hvacstudent967]

many trees are easy to coppice and return year after year. one such tree we use for this purpose is black locust, it's prolific, also in Texas a tree that is a nitrogen fixer and similiar to the black locus is the mesquite tree. This tree is very difficult to kill by coppicing so you can use a field of these trees indefinitely for such uses. Also they produce a pod that can be used to feed to chicken, both of the mentioned trees are good for this.

[@rickyagaton5000]

bro jon, you have wonderful community projects that i am thinking of replicating here in the Philippines. I am engaged in gardening but I do not own the farmlot, it is inside the school campus. You have said in your previous video for Life is Easy, that you started your planting project using your mother's small portion of farmlot. Then after several years you were able to purchase a bigger farmland through your savings. My question now are: 1. When did you started the Pun Pun Community? 2. How did you purchased the land? Do you have partner-investors? 3. How many hectares? 4. How and when did you involved people in your project? Do they came from the same locality or the people came from other places when you started?? Thank you bro jon, i am always watching all your videos, very informative.

[@JonJandaiLifeisEasy]

1 we started PUNPUN 18 years ago. 2 I bought the land with my wife. We have no investors. 3It's about 9 acres 4People came to volunteer in the first months and stay for many years or until now. Most of people come from different part of the country and from many countries.

[@creativemonkeys8908]

@@JonJandaiLifeisEasy Hi sir,can we come and join as a volunteer to learn about ur community and how it works and how to establish such community in my country (India) .

[@somatder]

Hi Jon Jandai. I built this according to your guidance and I have already made two batches of charcoal. However, I had one problem: I had a really hard time keeping the gases from escaping in the gap between the chimney and the top of the drum. I kept adding wet mud and it helped for a while but later the smoke had made it's way through it again. It seems like you guys were really good at sealing it up really good, but did you also have that challenge? Anyways, thanks a lot for sharing, this is what is awesome about youtube and people like you who share this content for us likeminded people

[@somatder]

UPDATE. Made 5 batches of charcoal with this method- nice and dense quality. I realise that it is not possible to avoid the gases from escaping around the chimney without welding or other kinds of sealants. The pressure built up in the pyrolysis is quite high so it will escape in small cracks, By closer inspection I can see you guys had the same challenge. But I realise that it doesn't really matter. I stoppet worrying so much about some smoke escaping and just tried to reduce it. The charcoal came out really good anyways. It shouldn't matter anyways as long as most gas escape the bottom holes in the pipe and provide fuel for pyrolysing the wood

[@gamingmadster]

Jen you should make clay mud. It would work. I was thinking of this for a clay kiln outside. I love this idea

[@NewHampshireJack]

@@somatder When making char cloth and chared punk wood, we have always poked a small hole in our cans to vent gases. Some bushcrafters teach that no vent hole is needed and I believe this system also works because the tins they use are not airtight, allowing gasses to escape.

[@batchrocketproject4720]

@@somatder I haven't built mine yet but I've noticed the escaping gas/smoke in several videos that use this design. What I plan on trying, based on what I've seen in some other videos, is to place a second short 'chimney' tube around the main pipe so that the smoke escaping from the pipe hole is guided up into the flame and efficiently burnt. The outer chimney can also have some air vents to draw further air to mic with the gases and help the burn.

[@jeremytheonlyone]

Get a ceramic fibre cloth / blanket onto the area. The other idea was the how is not fully cut out but it is cut in this manner and clip it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/laW3aX-efbZ8Zpo

[@TLFarm]

Much much better option than making charcoal in the ground 💚💛🧡

[@Aloewells]

It's a big rocket stove. The heat should be used for any good use of melting or boiling. If it's just for cooking, biogas would be cheap and useful.

[@jeremytheonlyone]

Dear @JonJandaiLifeisEasy This technique is way far better and simple for elderly farmers who have been working so hard in the village all their life. I've tried it with an elderly who is now about 70 years old a few days ago in the village. My goal is to help them in order to fulfill my life journey with my willingness and eagerness to ease towards sustainable lifestyle. The only hurdles I have experience is in my region our industry and technology is still far behind than in Thailand due to the reason known itself. It is a lot more affordable to get SS304 6" stainless steel pipe in Thailand which is 50% cheaper than I could get it here in Sarawak. Unless, I am buying in several tonnes shipping using containers. Thank you for sharing this. It took some courage and some capital to do this project. It cost me about US$500 to complete one set here in my region.

Its very clean and efficient process. Thanks for sharing. I have question. Is the charcoal near to activated charcoal or normal charcoal?

[@JonJandaiLifeisEasy]

I'm not quite sure because so many people name charcoal many ways and many meanings but this technique the minimum temp is 1,010 celsius degree. It is the best quality to filter our water, making soap or put in our bread or put in capsules to use as medicine.

[@davidtagoe284]

Hi JJ. Thanks ever so much for this excellent video. I tried this using palm kennel shells to make charcoal. All the charcoal around the pipe was very well burnt. The other half near the edges of the barrel not. The palm kennel filling in the barrel is much more dense than the wood. Do you have any idea as to how i can make it work? Thanks again for the great video!

[@zuberiwake1772]

Not JJ but here are some options: 1. Better/thicker insulation arround the barrel. This will help increase the temperatures further out inside the barrel. 2. More starting wood below the barrel. This allows the barrel to heat up more before all outside wood is burnt and the flame continues purely with the wood gas released through the bottom holes of the barrel. 3. Mix the kernels with wood or bamboo to decrease the density. Combinations of these can also help.

[@tombouie]

Well Done, rock wool might be more available & less expensive insulation: ROCKWOOL ROXUL SAFE products can withstand intense heat up to 2150°F (1177°C) without melting, producing smoke or propagating flames.

[@douglascolman4501]

I have seen many different charcoal ovens and this is by far the best yet. I'm on an island in the Philippines and doubt I can get the layer of insulation here. Could the drum be in a mud brick tower and use sand as insulation?

[@graemezimmer604]

I think that fiber-glass insulation could be used, it is essentially the same as ceramic insulation. Sand could probably be used as long as it was very dry. May be best to bake it first.

[@JonJandaiLifeisEasy]

Many people use sand ash or mud bricks. All of them work fine but it was harder when we take the charcoal off. Try to find what you have is the best way. Cheapest, easiest is the best.

Major Question Clearly the material in the pipe and at the outside of the bottom of the barrel is insufficient to sustain 5 hours of burning so my question is what is sustaining that long burn? Is the off gases from the wood inside of the barrel fueling the fire within the tube? Or are you feeding the fire some other way? Does the fire self extinguish because the gases within the chamber are exhausted?
