Making Your Own Charcoal Powder

Step 4Cover and Simmer

Cover and Simmer
Con started his fire, and let it burn. It wasn't long until he could see the boards beginning to turn to coals. He was ready for the next step. Using a flat shovel he was able to scoop up the coals and pile them on the ground next to the tub.

Con writes, "When the boards have turned to hot coals, I shovel them out on the ground with a flat shovel, cover them with the old top from a portable bar-b-que, and put sand around the bottom to make it air tight. Then just let it sit in it's own heat."

Time to sit back and wait as your coals simmer and cook away all the moisture, and any other volatile gases.
