That and being able to cook a hamburger until it's brown without cutting it to check.

That's a top-notch life skill right there.

I am not being sarcastic. I really do appreciate someone who can cook a burger perfectly every time, all the time.

Cutting into a burger to check done-ness is sacrilege. That and pressing them on the grill with a spatula will make me question your integrity.

I'm with you on that one. I know when my burgers are done.

You'd better. It's your screenname.

Yep, I wonder if people get hungry when they see me post.

Not a burger, but even when it is 17°, you can smoke brisket and boston butt. Here it is ready to go:

We can make a burger. All we need is a meat grinder.

Go to Kansas City and turn north.

Bet I can be there before the brisket's done.

What brand of lump charcoal are you using?

 

[Vol464]

What brand of lump charcoal are you using?

Royal oak.

Make my own with a biochar retort. Pretty easy to make.

Big chunks in royal oak. Sto enlighten me.

You can make small or big ones. It's basically burning wood in an oxygen starved environment, you're really burning the gases off of it. Take a 55 gal barrel, lay on its side and fill full of your chosen wood. Weld up 2 braces to get it a foot or so off the ground. At the top weld 2 pipes that go up about a foot or so, 2or 3 inch pipes. Elbow 90 to side the width of the barrel, then down, then underneath. Drill holes in pipe that is now underneath the barrel. Put some wood underneath the barrel and set ablaze. After about 10 minutes the steam from the wood inside the barrel will be driven off and the gases will ignite and you will have one hell of a roaring and dangerous situation if the pipe and holes are too small. The gases ignite and bake the wood inside creating even more gases creating a helluva cycle. Pyro dream situation. When it goes out wait a long time before opening it... The next day open and you have charcoal. Google pyrolosis and biochar. I make small camp stoves, can inside a can that are much smaller and safer to start with. I've made rocket stoves and such. Fire brick pizza ovens. I am now tackling the mastery of masonry heaters. I get ceramic fiber, firebrick, satanite, and refractory cement from harbison walker in Knoxville. I've always been interested in the efficient creation of heat. So sorry for the novel. Biochar will give your garden one helluva kick in the ass as well

Something similar to what I was describing, not safe having one outlet IMO in case it gummed up.

Finally, I would suggest subscribing to jw934 channel on YouTube. He's a jap who has some genius ideas for simple stoves, many of which I've built. I'd try the can inside a can, you just drill some holes in the right locations you could have one burning at your house in 15 min

Wow I have been looking into rocket stoves and things like that. Man I would really like to pick your brain on this subject. I tried links but they didn't work for me. Wish we had PMs again.

I made (copied for one time use) the coating on the space shuttle by just buying 3 things from chemical suppliers. Silicon dioxide, colloidal silicon dioxide, and silicon boride. The last one was 90 bucks for like 3 tablespoons.. A few grams. I then started using silicon carbide, a cheap industrial abrasive with high emissivity. It's actually cheap to make now. It is very very bad ass coating the inside of any and I mean any stove or fireplace.

The protective coating contains, in admixture, silicon dioxide powder, colloidal silicon dioxide, water, and one or more emittance agents selected from silicon tetraboride, silicon hexaboride, silicon carbide, molybdenum disilicide, tungsten disilicide and zirconium diboride.
