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.

They did that, hence the term "retort".

also they coppice the wood which essentially means they chop the tree down and then branches come up from the stump. so in the end you get more wood per acre and, apparently (I'm no expert) trees treated in such a manor actually live longer.
