Making Charcoal with the Exeter Retort
By woodlandstv
Slow connection? Watch in lower quality
Alan and Jo Waters are expert charcoal makers with many years experience of this traditional skill from the land they coppice. Here they speak about the benefits of charcoal production using the Exeter Retort. They join with Geoff Self and Robin Rawle, designers and manufacturers of this Retort, to explain their experiences of the benefits of this method compared to traditional ring kilns - that the Retort produces more charcoal, that it has a shorter burn time, is cleaner, more efficient, easily accessible and transportable, and that it ultimately produces better quality charcoal - ideal for small woodland owners.

i bbq a lot and do long slow smoking, i'd love to buy british charcoal but its far too expensive even in comparison to competition charcoal imported all the way from the states
And the environment will suffer in the end in time all because of greed for money.
So tell me something about the build how it was made this is interesting if your selling the unit but tell us something about the unit
Most excellent video.You are so damn rite that your efforts are forgotten,but the memories of an era that are still braved, today's society seems to overlook what simple things really are.Job well done
Run a pipe and pipe the gas back into the burn box for an even cleaner burn and less wood needed for the burn box.
Fantastic. What an encouragement to see this.
It's a wonderful job. Thank you.

I'm English and I never have this problem. I rarely think of the government.
Have you tried to make wood vinegar as a natural pesticides? when making charcoal, the smoke goes through a condenser and the liquid is left to settle. It is expensive, you could make a better living. Just an idea. Great Video
Absolutely.
