Schematic of a a charcoal kiln made from an oil drum.
- 1: soil and turf or clay to make a layer to seal the space between the oil drum and the earth (note that is done only the outside, directly below the oil drum -in the center- is no soil and turf or clay)
- 2: bricks
- 3: hole in soil and turf or clay (inlet hole for air; about 15-23 cm in diameter)
- 4: holes drilled in the bottom of the oil drum to allow some air to enter
- 5: inside of the oil drum: filled up with wood (wedges of 2 to 5 cm thick)
- 6: 2 plates with holes layed over each other (see 6A and 6B). These form the top. By rotating one of these, the fumes going out can be controlled, hereby ensuring maximum efficiency of the pyrolysis[1]
