you should cap the end of your air pipe to force the air to come through the holes instead of allowing it to escape out the end... it likes to take the easiest route and will only slightly flow out the holes if there's a huge hole on the end of it

Ok, here's to clarify and i know because I've made charcoal myself. Charcoal is wood thats been burnt without oxygen so the heat fuses the hydrogen and oxygen in the wood into water vapor and burns off the rest of the volatile matter in the wood, leaving you with a shell of nearly pure carbon. Coal is a mineral mined out of the ground which is made of compacted and mineralized plant material. Coke is coal that has had all the pollutants burned out which leaves pure carbon.

cool



[sockless67]

Coal and charcoal are similar but different at the same time. Coke and charcoal on the other hand are very similar.

Wouldn't the hole be better on the side or something? hot air rises so you'd lose a fair amount from having the hole on the top

[nightwalker2830]

well if u burn the wood till it black isnt that how u make coal?

[daboss11111]

@nightwalker2830 no it is not

coal is the decompisition of plants and animals compressed under huge pressure over a looong time

to make charcoal u need to basicaly cook the wood without oxygen so all the gasses seep out

when gasses stop coning it is done... if you want a good example watch nighthawkinlight's video :s

@nightwalker2830 No.  That's charcoal

[retepvosnul]

@johnnyLikeVideo Actually coal and charcoal are different names for pretty much the same thing. To make proper coal or charcoal you need to burn the wood at high temperatures while tightly controlling and restricting the air flow. It is a fine balance, but prehistoric man did this with a hole in the ground.

People are high on religion and that religion can be anything that get them though the day.

You seem a very religious atheist type since your have no regard for the facts about the 66 books written by 40 authors over a 1,300 year period.

Bronze age indeed???

What book was written during the Bronze age?

Jesus was not born in the bronze age and He showed the world what God is really like.

Jesus loves you and has a plan for you life.

@666

To live in Christ mean to die to yourself so you are on the right track my friend

If anyone want to be a disciple of Jesus he must first die to myself and then take up his cross daily

We die to oursevles when we give up our will to live as we please and repent of our sins.

once we are willing to turn from the wrong things we do than our eyes are opeded and we can bleive in Jesus the Christ.

I will be praying that you turn your life over to God so that you can LIVE a life of peace
