If you have a cement mixer, put your charcoal there with water, some fist size stones and fertilizer. You'll get instant biochar.

I'm amazed you got away with wearing beige trousers, because I know that I would've ended up covered from head to foot in soot! :) Thanks for the lesson!

Just started using charcoal in my art and charcoal powder would work wonderfully as dry paint. Thanks a bunch for the helpful information!

So which wood best for charcoal, or they just same ? Coconut, bamboo, anywood ?

hi ! i know this might be a long shot, but i was wondering since i am just starting with this medium, i wanted to compress charcoal into a molding, sort of like a sculpture. how would i seal the final product or do you think that would not work?
especially if the molding had fine detail.

Do not use treated wood if you are going to cook with it or eat it!

wonderful. May I have your email address sir?

Sorry! You are totally wrong. In order to make real charcoal, you need to allow the combustable gases from the wood to vent from your half barrel and burn off. You should notice that the inside surface of the cover, you kept on your barrel, is coated with toxic tar and so is your charcoal. You sure messed this up.

Is this live charcoal, is it good for drinking or taking internal for stomach problems?
