Making Charcoal
oldgoaly:
I'm near St.Louis Mo. and a foundry supply house stocked it. I have used it in my coal forge, bank it behind the coal. I'm wondering if one was to grind up a percentage? Have not used much pressure as finding a holder has not happened. This is like a coarse sand like a 30-40 grit. when it gets heated and doesn't blow away it will bond and burn very hot.

Well, I guess I won't be trying it. No foundry supply companies in Vermont.

Andrew,
Pop up with that little 4 x 4 and I'll load it up.
Every Monday morning, 6.30 am I get one of these dropped on the drive.
8' x 4' x 4' full of dry beech offcuts from the local furniture factory.
awemawson:
Blimey John that's a blast from the past - do you have a backlog of post reading ? :clap: You could have brought one of those with you when you came down the other day :ddb:
Glad to see you've got the forklift fixed :thumbup:
John Stevenson:
That's what you get for putting the clocks back :ddb:
Nearly got the truck done.
Sparky came out and spent a good hour going thru it, found a small stud diode had gone short.
Removed it to get a new one but everything still works with it removed ?
Waiting for him to get a new one before I venture out on the road with it, just using it round the yard at present.
When you have had one of these go runaway it makes you wary when you switch on. Good news is the plastic wheelie bin has now expanded to nearly it's full size but still got a bent wheel and a few cracks in the top.
