How to make Charcoal tutorial

[graphixkillzzz]

now that's a fire lol  thanks for the "how to" ^_^v

[sdbooker12]

What a waste of wood, how about this, put the hole on the bottom of the barrel and cover the top. This way you get charcoal from all the wood burnt.

I agree cut the music, annoying.

[62rome]

you boys playing with fire again!!.

[alisonspearl]

You're not Hillbillies (and there's nothing wrong with them; any more than any other group). Pollution is negligible; can't be more than what comes out of most fireplaces. You're two people giving out some very useful information ~ granted, with a small ad ~ so what. LOVE the music you use. This information is very useful; thank you.

[PyR0Star]

we all used standard paint cans hell I have the video somewhere......

[PyR0Star]

the winner of that competition was a rocket that turned into what looked like a 15" or larger bic lighter flame

[PyR0Star]

my friends and I had a competition who could the make the best rocket effect of the oil burning out of the crucibles. You had to have a small wood stick constantly over the crucibles holes for maximum fire. When you see smoke during this process, its the moisture and oils of the wood. Its why you should cook your hot dogs on briquettes instead of good ol pine. I'm gonna go on a hunt for willow..... 90% of the charcoal I make is from Xmas tree's that lasted the whole year! the cats love it...

[stopglobalswarming]

I like the music.

[carypappass]

Why do people always think music is so damn nessessary when making videos ????????????????

[jpchapboy]

@carypappass Some people realize that the audio is actually more important than the video itself.

[Downfacingdog]

Do you think the glue in the plywood and the finnishes on the furnature you cut up and burned are any good for the environment? Hillbilly assholes.

[jpchapboy]

@Downfacingdog Sorry, hillbillies are from way down south. I'm out west. Redneck, maybe. Hillbilly, no. I'm pretty sure that my low levels of pollution are no worse than you driving your gas guzzling car. If the earth didn't have a way to deal with pollution, we'd all be dead by now.

[Fuzzy3676]

@jpchapboy actually there is a surprising lack of hills "way down south" maybe you could find somewhere to relocate the hillbillies

[chaosinhell666]

@jpchapboy lol so true m8 have you also noticed they have all but stooped on that subject as it was blown out of the water a while ago as carbon and fires are also a natural cycle of things as is heating and cooling of our planet as we move closer to the sun and then move back away

[qsdfqsdfqsdfq]

@Downfacingdog You go turn off ur computer then, nuclear plants are running making radioactive waste for you to post ur useless troll comments.

[gAyFish9957]

@Downfacingdog oooooooooooooooooooooo im sure thats soooooo bad. NOT. calm down tree hugger

[59gauguin]

could have been clearer without the music, thanks.

[nicuribe]

Can't I just use store-bought BBQ charcoal to make black powder???

[jpchapboy]

@nicuribe Charcoal briquets will not make good black powder. there is far too many contaminates. Ever notice all the ash after you are done barbequing? that would all be in your powder and would make it incredibly inefficient. Sorry no shortcuts there.

[KarasCyborg]

I don't know if I would use plywood to cook on. Aren't you worried about the Glues?

[bigaxe87]

did you know that if you cook food with poplar or poplar charcoal you can get sick from it.the rest of the wood is ok for cooking but deffinetly not poplar

[jpchapboy]

@bigaxe87 Didn't know that. everyone keep that in mind.

[seaXcrow]

Not really. If the charcoal has been carbonized fully, all the toxic volatiles will have been pyrolized and driven off, no matter the source material. Charcoal is carbon, not wood. Different charcoals vary in activated surface area and burning rates, but they're all carbon.

[orangegold1]

You spelled sulfur wrong..

[dukilaki]

you put wood inside can,put wood on fire and when wood gets red put fire out by water

[Souls4Freedom]

How long do you cook the cans?

Thanks for this interesting vid.

[rabbitphobia]

Swing Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrALIENMUSIC]

u uses any chemicals or not ?

[jpchapboy]

@MrALIENMUSIC No chemicals are required to make charcoal this way. It is purely the reaction if intense heat in a low oxygen environment (that's why you use the metal can.)

[MrALIENMUSIC]

@jpchapboy thx great help

[BradinOkinawa]

You are really fast at cutting wood.

[parkerjwill]

I smell a fellow Utahn..

[jpchapboy]

@parkerjwill Yes you do. Near Ogden.

[parkerjwill]

You look like a fellow Utahn...

[TheMosh97]

hey , can you tell me what wood is the best for black powder and what wood is the best for stars , thankss

[cnapyro]

@TheMosh97 willow or pine is best

[drannard123]

ok thank you nice idea

[manufacturedfracture]

lol great memories playing with fire pits i used to beat them with shovels such as you did

[BoosieBoy122]

isnt there an air hole on the paint cans

[jpchapboy]

@BoosieBoy122 Yes there is. I used about a 3/8" hole for the one gallon can, and a big hole (about 3/4 X 1/2") with a cold chisel for the 5 gallon can.

[TheComplementor]

Thank god for Kingsford.

[sergeantsailorman]

A lot of work, complicated, time consuming. A simpler way that makes good usuable charcoal is to just build a campfire. When the wood is coals, pour water on them to stop the charing. Place the charcoal on a wiremesh screen off the ground, and wash with water, then let it dry. You now have very good charcoal, make easily, and in only and hour. It's one of the old, traditional ways, and works really well. Try it once, and you'll throw away all those cans, and drums, as too much trouble.

[frosty956]

do I see an awesome model train track in the ground?!

[jpchapboy]

Yes you do. it is a 1:12 scale. I'll have videos of it when I get it going soon.

[ekman1000]

is charcola just coal from buner wood?

[RoehmanEMPIRE]

Nice shirt.

[WorldStove]

nice simple set up. how much wood do you burn to get a lb of charcoal?

[ThePyromaniac500]

@WorldStove it matters what wood you are useing because each wood has a diferent density
