Great fun product Review by Martin

Review

I saw this product at the Chelsea Flower Show.
I have a fascination with charcoal making ever since visiting Ben Law's place but live in a town.
I bought the product not realising that it is actually designed to go in the Kadia fire bowl (which is beautiful but quite an investment)
However, it fitted into my Barbecue and would work well with an open outdoor fire.
My first burn was quite exciting although I suspected the wood had caught and I would awake the next morning to a pile of ashes.
However, much to my surprise I had a good amount of useful charcoal.
My second burn was with oak and it did not completely char the wood - you have to have courage and leave it quite a while in the fire.
However, I like the process of learning.
It is a great way of teaching people the principles of charcoal making and the main benefit is that you can make it in your back garden as long as the wind is in the right direction away from the neighbours. (Posted on 20/07/2011)
