I made a batch of charcoal using the mound method then stored it in baskets for later use. Charcoal is a fuel that burns hotter than the wood its made from. This is because the initial energy consuming steps of combustion have taken place while making the charcoal driving off the volatile components of the wood such as water and sap. The result is a nearly pure carbon fuel that burns hotter than wood without smoke and with less flame. Charcoal was primarily a metallurgical fuel in ancient times but was sometimes used for cooking too.
Att göra träkol. Inte helt ofarligt. Förr kallades resten efter kolmilan, den utbrända bottnen för kolbotten.
En mycket lärorik film.
