Anyone ever produced and marketed your own charcoal?
The current issue of Forest Landowner magazine has an interesting article on small-scale charcoal production. The article discusses use of a modified chicken feed hopper as the kiln. Details are available at Producing and Marketing Natural Wood “Lump” Charcoal-Charcoal Making Resources.
I have my doubts about the prospects for small-scale charcoal production being an economically-viable enterprise, but it sounds like an interesting sideline.
