Hello. One question: is the container completely sealed or does it have an evaporation outlet? Where does the water from evaporation go? Hello from South America.
I'm really pleased to have a look at the heater, and see how it works, thank you. The sawdust is a resource. It could be compressed and extruded and used for fuel, or sold as-is to folks who have compost toilets as cover/soak. However it doesn't look like you produce tonnes of it, so I hope you find a grateful recipient. If you were near me I'd take it to balance the food waste I collect for composting.
Hello again, Could you tell us how many m3 of firewood you burn to dry one charge? And how many m3 are in one charge. In other words; how much firewood do you burn to dry 1m3? Are they loose m3 or stacked. I heard that it takes only 17% extra time to dry them already stacked.
Cheers for this, I've seen the exact shipping container you've used on fb marketplace! I'm thinking of building a boiler myself, I'm just not sure about the gasifier. When it goes into gasification mode, it shuts the vent out to the flue and blows air into the bottom chamber.. There has to be a vent out somewhere to prevent the system over pressurising right?
The top flaps are only open when you are reloading. All the rest of the time the smoke is being pushed down through the holes in the bottom where gasification takes place. Would be very hard to make one. Better of just buying one I would say. If you made one it wouldn’t have all the electrics that turn off the fans when it gets to temp etc
When the door is shut? You either have a blocked nozzle in the bottom, make Sure they are clear. If not then make sure your wood is dry for burning then finally your door might need adjusting or a new rope round the door
I am in a high risk fire area during the summer months. Is there any chance of this being able to start a fire from the exhaust, or any other way for that matter?
It’s no different from having a chimney in a house. To reduce the chance of an ember coming out you would have a longer flue. But if it’s that hot why not seasoned your wood in the summer then just run the kiln when it’s less of a fire risk.
@@oakfarmfirewood so excited 2 do d same, but never been in this industry before , but I need to start with as soonest as possible and i can have access to a big daily quantity of hardwood that I can buy it from a sawmill where I can cut their waste to have the 25-30 cm length with a diameter sections of 8 to 20 cm ... but my problem is the budget for drying ... in line with what you have kindly did here , I feel I can’t do more than 25 m3 in 5 days and 150m3 in a month ... I heard you saying you need to make it 2 layers with 24 or 28 pallets ... have you tried it pls ? U think it’s doable ? Does Angus have a boiler that can provide up to 160-180 degrees Celsius ? In order to dry the same volume in 2x24 hrs ( 2 days )? Thx for considering my message
It’s not always to do with heat 70 degrees is hot enough. It’s all down to airflow with the fans etc I’ve still not tried 2 high but will do this winter.
It must be very frustrating to have all these questions in the comments that you clearly addressed in the video. 😆
Excellent job. Thanks
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Would love to do a similar setup but on a smaller scale.
Abit different set up now mate!!💥💥💪💪👍
Fantastic job,
Hello. One question: is the container completely sealed or does it have an evaporation outlet? Where does the water from evaporation go?
Hello from South America.
Hello, yes it needs vents in the container as you are adding air with the hot air burner. So water is transferred through the air in humidity/steam

I make about 3 of them clear bags a day when I’m processing. To be compressed into bricketts it needs to be dry, but I’m cutting fairly green wood

Are these units available in America or something like this boiler
I want to buy this burner please guide me
Hello I would like to ask you there is any way to block the smoke to escape from the door?
When the door is shut? You either have a blocked nozzle in the bottom, make
Sure they are clear. If not then make sure your wood is dry for burning then finally your door might need adjusting or a new rope round the door
I am really motivated and soon I'll make that happen
Hi new subscriber 1 question when the wood in the kiln dried where do the fluid from the wood go?
Through evaporation. The hot air takes the moisture out of the log and vents it outside
Hello,I need some assistance from you experience how can I eliminate moisture inside the kiln as I have such problem
Find my Instagram I can message on there
Could you use the firewood bags in the kiln? Or is it to hot inside?
I think you could yes. But airflow won’t be that great and I would think they could stretch the bags
I am in a high risk fire area during the summer months.

Who makes the wood furnace ??
Eco angus
What temperatures are you getting inside the kiln?
Still unsure.
@@oakfarmfirewood hi ... after couple of months , can we know please if you are reaching the 90-10 Degree Celsius ?
Yes when set to 110c on the burner I’m reaching 75c-80c in the kiln

What size is it please
60kw
Awesome :)
pelletise the sawdust and burn it that way
