I Forge Iron

Recommended Posts

I suppose this should be in the solid fuel forge section. This looks like a version of the "direct method" for making charcoal. Direct method is the least efficient for wood in, charcoal out. It'd be semi direct if you put a sealed lid on it once it got going, Kon tiki might be semi direct, but I wasn't going to watch a half hour video of a fire in a cone. Indirect is about as economical for fuel in charcoal out as we're likely to make up without going to extremes.

Wowser!! Yeah.. I just pained this wall, gotta make sure it dries. Lol From what I've read, as soon as one wood layer begins to ash,  you then add another layer of wood. Until the cone is full.

Seemed like it was a rather solid idea as far as the Japanese went? But exactly where would this average Joe get a metal cone 60X30X16??
