Making Charcoal in a Retort with Lee Sauder

This movie shows the construction and operation of a charcoal retort to make fuel for smelting, forging, or cooking. It is a fairly simple design built of scrap 275 gallon oil tanks. This retort will make 160 to 180 lbs of charcoal in about 6 hours. Cameo appearances by Shadow Bug the Amazing Ore Dog.

You may notice that this video is unburdened by advertisement. But if you feel moved to thank me with a few bucks, you'll find a donation button on the Research section of my website: http://www.leesauder.com/smelting_res... You'll also find there other interesting things to read about iron smelting and blacksmithing.
