VigenTigen Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Can old wood (nearly rotten) be successfully turned into charcoal?
Arthur Posted March 26 Posted March 26 In the old texts from Royal Gupowder Mills -look it up- they said to use wood that had been left to season for years, but truly rotten wood was not usefull. The porous structure of timber is what makes the porous nature of charcoal to enable thorough blending in the milling stage. Ultimately it's up to you to determine just how functional your supply is, but it should be good 'til it's falling apart.
Mumbles Posted March 26 Posted March 26 I've heard some reports that wood that had turned and become semi-rotten making extremely hot BP. It can definitely be turned into charcoal. How good that BP made from it will be is probably the more important question though. One that is impossible to answer based on the lack of information provided. Try it and find out.
