  • We needed an inexpensive source of lump charcoal on our homestead! Our youngest Flannel decided he was going to take up blacksmithing and in order to do that without spending a fortune on propane, we needed lump charcoal!

    I gotta say Brian and young Flannels , this is seriously awesome. What your kids are learning is invaluable and if they all.pursue their paths , they could land good jobs in the future Not to mention the fun they are having, and hanging out with dad. Truly beautiful.

    I love this video with the music and the time lapse of the charcoal making! It's great that the youngest flannel wants to do blacksmithing! Thanks eldest flannel for filming and editing the videos! I have very much enjoyed your work. My neighbor made a forge with a hair dryer and a 5 gallon bucket with concrete inside. Your forge is better than his. His anvil was a piece of railroad rail. It worked well. I bought a Paradise Petals shirt for middle flannel. I'll try and get a new shirt in the next 30 days.

    Your method is so much better than just burying it or spraying it with a hose. And the double barrel retort system is too complicated! I love your way!!!!

      Wonderful! Mrs. Flannel and I were just talking last night about how happy we were with them on the house and how bright it made everything! Glad you like them!

    If you have a metal plate the size of your drum, you could put the wood on the plate and cover it with the drum. Build a fire under the plate and you should get a better yield with higher quality.

      I don't have flat sheets, they all have those ridges in them, but you're right. I thought about Mayne using one of my 55 gallon barrels with a lid and smothering it that way, but part of this was to show folks who might not have anything other than a shovel how to make some.

      It is great that you are bringing back traditional methods. Because we smoke a bunch of meat using chunk wood, we get charcoal as a byproduct. I may try it in a forge.
