Another good reason to make it yourself is that you can play with fire and everybody thinks that what you're doing is a good thing. Instead of just playing with fire.
I know this is an old video but I chuckled when I saw the old Orley stove. My maternal grandparents had one of those when they lived in Klamath Falls. My paternal grandparents, who lived in the Salem area, had two Fire-View Wood Heaters. I used to think that all wood stoves looked like tipped barrels with windows. I didn't realize until fairly recently that both of those stove manufacturers were in Southern Oregon.
Screen it with about a half inch grate (as he said). Pick out any incompletely pyrolyzed parts (the ones with large parts of unburned wood), or not. The fine white ash is very basic (high pH), and you can use it to make lye soap or to balance the pH of your compost or garden soil if it tends on the acidic side. Try not to breath the white ash.
Thanks for information Michael. Here in Philippines they use charcoal for.all your cooking. The best tasting charcoal I ever had is made of coconut shell. It gives good taste with good smell and taste. Thanks for video
That’s very interesting Steven. When grilling I put chunks of local hardwood on the coals for smoke flavor. I am wondering if I could just take a piece of coconut shell and do the same thing with that. I’m sure you’re running into a lot of interesting things in the Philippines. Probably all kinds of things you could do a channel or blog about.
I just run my fire in the open, when it gets a good bed of coals, i stick the hose on it and put the fire out. Then the next day I rake it out, let it sun dry. Once dry enough, i sieve it, then store it in onion bags to allow it to totally dry out.
Yes you are the winner! It’s an Orley. They were made here locally, I wasn’t sure if anyone would get that. They are great stoves, we had one of the early ones that heated our house where I grew up.
Where I am from, Northern Calif/ San Francisco Bay Area, we use the term "barbeque", as in "we are going to have barbequed steaks tonight". I am surprised you use the what I consider an East Coast term "grill". Have you and your friends and family in your area always said "grill" instead of "barbeque"?
That is a great education on how to make home made charcoal , now to see the screen part will be nice. And that old wood stove is nice I bet at onetime that was a great looking stove. Wonder if it was homemade or store bought ? Thanks for sharing. Take care
I use a small barrel, load it with hardwood, and flip it upside down inside a larger barrel. Then load up wood around the small barrel and let it burn. Then you have about 30lbs from one burn.
I want to learn to make charcoal cause theres lots of free fallen wood near me, but I can't take it to where i camp because of pests. If i learn to make charcoal i can bring it with me camping and not bring bugs or disease between camp sites.
Now i just need to figure out how to do it next to the river without having to dig a pit cause the forest service doesn't like you burning in the ground there. Collecting wood is fine, setting open fires isnt. Sigh.
Actually, I think I said it three times. Since I haven’t developed the confidence to feature my ass on video, as someone else has, for now I only say ass.

I don’t know how I forgot to mention that one. That’s probably the most important reason of all.

Yes. Processing and grilling is an excellent idea.
Thanks for the info.
Thank you for your vote, it has been counted.

Wilson you are so smart and amazing. Is this flowery comment enough to get a response from a very old video?
Charcoal is very expensive too! Thanks for the video!
You are welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting.
You had me at badassery. Yeah, I need to see you screen it and see a thick steak grilling over it.
Good to see you, Ed. I have counted your vote for more grilling badassery.
That there is an old Orley! Great old stoves, hard to find nowadays.

@@WilsonForestLands A family friend had one in his shop. Good memories heating up next to it after long, fun snow days.

It was a commercially available stove you could buy. That one has seen better days though.

I have seen videos of things like that. Maybe some day I will try something like that.

Could i use a portable grill or fire pit then put it in an air tight can?
OH!, Michael.........you said "ass".
Twice.
Actually, I think I said it three times. Since I haven’t developed the confidence to feature my ass on video, as someone else has, for now I only say ass.
@@WilsonForestLands My fault on the "ass count". I jumped the gun, never thinking you would slip in another "ass".
My wife said she wants me to start doing some videos.
She got me a kilt for Christmas
The Kilted Sawyer 😂 lol I am considering 🤣😭🌲🧡👍👍
The more I have thought about it this weekend, that would be bad ASS.
@@thekiltedsawyer Should you go through with "The Kilted Sawyer" idea please WEAR UNDERWEAR! I don't want to have to gouge out my eyes with a spoon.
At 06:03 you have a baby dear on your right hand side.
They hang around here a lot. Sometimes so much that I don’t even realize they are in the videos until I edit the video.
that's an Orley wood stove.
Yes it is, well done. Only one other guy got it.
Instant lighting charcoal is horrible. I’ve never seen charcoal made thank you.
But with the lighter fluid brickets (sp?) you don't have to put seasoning on your steak. 🤣🤣🤣
When you have us all over for your great apple harvest, I can use those to cook your steak Paul.
