How to make a charcoal-making kiln

This information is free to the public for construction and use by individuals.
Commercial use is prohibited.
Development of the charcoal-making kiln for soil improvement took eight years.
The ability to make charcoal at high temperature is the special feature
of this charcoal-making kiln.
Charcoal can be made at low temperature, too.
Dried bamboo, corn, and sunflower can be carbonized within three hours.
Hard charcoal, which usually requires twenty hours to make, can be made
within five hours.
Hard charcoal is good for improving soil quality.
The charcoal-making kiln can make both black charcoal and white charcoal.
Chips of chaff, corn cobs, stalks, and sunflower stems are mixed to dry soil in a 50-50
ratio (50% soil, 50% biomass), and used to surround and insulate the kiln.
The foundation is made from bricks and stones. This is covered with 20 cm thickness of soil for insulation.
Bricks are piled up to make 60 cm high walls around the kiln. The walls form a rectangle around the kiln.
A space of 15-20 cm is necessary between the brick walls and the front,
sides, and back of the kiln, and
also the chimney. {Soil-biomass mixture is put in this space to insulate
the kiln.}
After the kiln is set in place, the chimney is installed. An L-shaped bent pipe is attached to the adapter on
the kiln, and the chimney is attached to this bent pipe.
For the chimney, although stainless steel pipe is good, an earthen pipe can be used instead.
An earthen pipe can be made from clay, attached to the kiln, and fired with the heat of the kiln.
The earthen pipe made in this way will have many cracks, but it will be satisfactory for the chimney.
The height of the earthen pipe should be about 2 m.
To attain internal temperature of more than 900 degrees, 4 m pipe is necessary.
Then, soil is put in the space between the brick walls and kiln for insulation, and the kiln is complete.
The kiln will have a scorched smell at first.

How to make full-scale charcoal.
Time to burn the charcoal becomes more than 20 hours from five hours.
Equal to or less than 180 degrees Celsius and keep temperature of the carbonization
department more than 15 hours.
The combustion department puts a large quantity of firewood and puts on fire.
If total firewood gets fire, make an entrance less than 2cm corner and
perform temperature control.
If 15-20 hours passed , perform normal charcoal making.
Making charcoal kiln if the charcoal was, thank you a report of doneness.
