[Stoves] Traditonal Charcola Making Process / retort

[Tom Miles]

Ron,

Elsen's prototype from 1998 can be found at:

His cane coal production facility (2003) is at:

After that I think he found it in his interest to use his technology himself
rather than advertise it.

I know kiln fabricators in the US who built metallurgical kilns which
operate primarily below 1343 C (2450 F) but do not built industrial ceramic
kilns which frequently operate at 2400, 2650 and 2750 F (1315 C, 1454 C,
1510 C) because of the problems of temperature control and they are more
difficult and expensive to build.
