Bruce,
Yes, I see the problem with insulation on the outside of the drum. It needs to be heat resistant AND water resistant or at least sheltered from rain in some way.

Looking good Tone! I like the grate for primary fire! Be sure to make the burn zone accesible, as the things get hot its hard to stay near for long.

Southern maple is softer wood. If it grows in cold places it seems to get much harder. Therefore, better. The term yankee is not a derogatory term, it pretty much just means “northern”.
and yes, things have changed a lot since the war of northern aggression. 
Praise the Lord.

I must not live far enough north then most of the maple here’s soft. At Argos you played the northern aggression card to poke a finger in our Yankee ribs so I thought I would return the favor. 
Hopefully I’ll see Jacob and whoever else in a couple months. Broke the cutter on my chunker this weekend. Picked up parts today and started making new cutter so he’ll have fuel when he gets here

We have both soft and hard maple. Both make good charcoal however hard maple charcoal is more dense. Was it hard maple that Mercedes Benz used in their early engine bearings?

Well if anyone knows anything about Slivovka (plumb moonshine) its the Bosnians. Thats their national drink…
But l must say Slovenian Slivovka is probably more anti viral. Bosnian and Serbian stuff is much lower in alcohol while the Slovenian stuff is usualy in the 50-60% range.

Namen imam izdelati uplinjevalnik oglja , ki bo služil za pogon najprej na traktorju, oglje bom uporabil tudi kot gnojivo pa tudi za namen kovanja,… toplota pri kuhanju pa v zrak.
I intend to make a charcoal gasfier, which will be used to drive the tractor first, and I will also use charcoal as fertilizer and also for forging blacksmithing … the heat of cooking into the air.
No pa je pripravljeno…
Well, it’s ready …

Ni dvoma da bo oglje vrhunsko! Upam da si dovolj ojačal peč, kot si najbrž opazil je v igri ogromno energije in toplote…
No dubt the charcoal will be top class! Hope you reinforced the kiln well, there is a lot of energy and heat at play…
