| My third burn in the garden |
I am better understanding how to do it, and using better materials. The first time I did this I used old test papers from my university students as fuel. Now I am using pure Iwate charcoal. And I am starting more slowly, warming the oven in my hori kotatsu for 2 days before burning (Reminding children not to kick it.) My first burn I had breakage. this time I did not.
I enlarged the holes in the bottom of the can, and I added wood shaving at the top of everything inside the can, and piled bricks on top of it for extra insulation.
The results are better. Nothing shattered in the burn, and there is a lot less smoke and flames with charcoal to frighten the neighbors. The fire is smoother, hotter too.
