The use of rocket stove to create charcoal is great idea. It is energy efficient and less polution.

Yes sir it has some advantages. Got a new inner barrel to install which with a few improvements will be gen 3!

[@thomshere]

Man I LOVE that Jubilee and your saw setup! I grew up in the North and we had a 1941 Ferguson Ford 9N that we bought when I was 5. The best memories of my childhood up until I was 23 when my dad died were spent working with him after he got home in the evening working for Pontiac Motors (plant 8) in Pontiac, MI and on the weekends. We did so many different kind of jobs with that old tractor and it never did disappoint. Unfortunately my mom wanted me to sell it for her after he was gone and I reluctantly did but man I miss that tractor. I sold it to my neighbor and now It's just driven in parades mostly but I did try and buy it back with all the equipment I sold him but he tells me he never will so at least it went to a good home. It seems like tractors are part of the family sometimes and that one sure was. Thank for the video! Much better than spending a ton of money for that type of charcoal.

[@TripleTRanchAndSawmill]

We can buy those tractors around here for less than $2K. Mine is worn out but is fit for purpose driving the buzzsaw. My sawmill runs off of my grandfathers 1964 Case propane tractor. Everytime I start it, it bring me back to hay fields and my grandfather. You should go get one like you had at 5!

[@koltoncrane3099]

I’ve not built a retort but want to one day. I’ve been looking at designs but haven’t done it yet. But if ya got a farm or lots of branches and volume lookup the channel skillcultz and making charcoal in a trench. It’s good for volume but isn’t as perfect as using a retort but time and volume wise it’s good. But ya a retort would seem good. I been going to build one to make charcoal out of apple branches we pruned a year ago.

James I have made a lot of charcoal and completed many metal repairs as a result of having free fuel. It is really handy. The retort has lost all paint and has warped a little though but still works fine. My recommendation on the next generation is to make the rocket stove front loading so heat will not be able to escape. Also, i replaced the inner barrel lid without drilling holes. I drilled holes instead on barrel bottom. This is from viewers comments. Thanks for watching!

I am curious as to how many burns you will get out of this before it deteriorates. Similar retorts that do not use an offset hopper are said to last for about ten burns. I am hoping your rocket system is consuming the oxygen from the fire before it gets to the drums. If so, they should last much longe.

[@TripleTRanchAndSawmill]

@Boscovius I estimate 20 burns so far and the inner barrel is the second one. But the retort is very rusted. I am working on the next gen top secret appliance right now!

[@Boscovius]

@@TripleTRanchAndSawmill I was very enthused to create my own double barrel retort but I cant find any 30 gallon drums in my area. I did run across a dead simple, unmodified 55 gallon drum version where you do the burn with the drum tilted at 45°. The burn method is like open pit burn, start fire in bottom and add material as it begins to ash. When full, straighten the barrel and put the lid on it. Let cool overnight, dump out and quench with water in the morning.

[@anthonyrepetto3474]

Great rig! A few thoughts: an air duct at the bottom edge of the outer barrel, swirling air up around the inside barrel, gives the wood gas the ignition it needs, which'll make the whole process a lot faster, fuel efficient... (putting that air duct's intake pipe over the top of the burn box would pre-heat that air, too). Also, splitting the branches into really thin shingles, laying those stacks atop your burn box to pre-dry, will make a huge difference, too... that way, the air of the inner drum can circulate around the shingles better, transferring heat from the walls, (the wood itself insulates) and so it pulls a higher gas rate, keeps itself hotter. Should work fine :)

[@TripleTRanchAndSawmill]

Anthony, i will consider these mods on the next gen when rust over takes the current retort. I may however install a ball valve as you suggest on the outer barrel. Thanks

[@KenWeston]

@@TripleTRanchAndSawmill maybe use some used oil on the outside of the barrel when hot. and maybe wipe get some bentonite slurry on the inside of the can? I am going to try both of those. Thought provoking approach. Thanks for sharing. Also, I've never seen a buzz saw like that - it looks amazing. Lethal, and also amazing.

@@KenWeston sometimes I cheat the pyrolysis by pouring oil into inspection hole at barrel top. This will trigger the pyrolysis if you have cooked the wood for about 2 hrs. Its a secret so don’t tell anyone! :)

[@russellsmith3825]

Good effort, however the external fire box is entirely superfluous. Drill or cut vent holes in the bottom of the outer barrel, if in the actual bottom, place the barrel on 3 bricks, pack your firewood in the gap between inner and outer barrels, including a few inches of material on top of the inner barrel, light, and install your chimney, you now have a TLUD Top Lit Up Draft retort. If you want to improve thermal efficiency, wrap outer barrel with rock wool insulation. Now the rocket retort I want to play with would have the normal J-tube design with the bell being what you used for the inner barrel welded inside the bottom of the 55 gallon drum, with a pipe to channel the wood gas back into the fire, use the intact lid to seal up the top. Fill 40 gallon void with your charcoal feedstock, start with fuel wood and see if the retort will take it the rest of the way.

[@TripleTRanchAndSawmill]

Russell this comment makes for a great design. Not sure if the sacrificial wood inside would be enough to bring the wood in the 40 gallon up to pyrolysis temp. It would be interesting to see a video with some good telemetry. Thanks for the comments!

I don't know if you knew this or not but you can also take that charcoal grind it up into a powder put it over your garden and have massive plants no matter what you are growing. You would need to put it on in the fall before the next planting season if you put it on at the beginning of the planting season you could even kill some of your plants.

On the inner barrel, were there only holes at the bottom (actually the top before it's flipped) or on both ends?

That is correct. It is designed a down draft retort. Inside the inner barrel, when the process yields gas, it flows down , ignites as it exits, turns 180 and flows around and up the cavity adding heat to the process.thanks

I'm guessing from your happy face that you understand that it's much more than just grilling a sausage. But for those out there that don't, this was a first for him, in making his own charcoal. Being able to be more self sufficient is always a good thing. If you know what activated charcoal is, this is 1 of a few steps to making it. Activated Charcoal has quite a few uses. The charcoal he made also goes by biochar. Biochar is really good to add to the garden if your dirt is not as alkaline as it needs to be. Also, the process in which he made the charcoal, can be adapted to use the wood gas to run motors. It's all about being more self sufficient.
