Making Charcoal

I forgot about that! You can make charcoal with two barrels. That way, after the initial fire burning the small wood in the outer chamber, the fire becomes smokeless, as it burns the gases released from the wood in the inner chamber.

I talked to my neighbors, Ilias and Nitsa. It is too dry now to do anything with fire outdoors. Between November and March then.

There is a farmer who makes charcoal professionally higher up on the mountain. But the way he does it creates a lot of smoke. So I will try the small patch barrel way.
