Once the fire is alight it is left to burn, this is called the freeburn, which lasts approximately one to two hours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c40ffd6a09b762cf963e1c/1669823057989-SJ9N7GEZ646YTOGQU05N/Graham+Hardy-98.jpg Biosphere Stories - West Wight People and Place: Charcoal Maker Graham Hardy - Make it stand out First the lid is lowered onto the top of the kiln. Then the chimneys are placed on top of the lid to warm, this helps the draw of the smoke once they are in place. The base of the kiln is then sealed leaving the ports open to allow airflow to continue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c40ffd6a09b762cf963e1c/1669823045942-UFIQQUF0RY4P16MWIHCY/Graham+Hardy-97.jpg Biosphere Stories - West Wight People and Place: Charcoal Maker Graham Hardy - Make it stand out Dampening down the burn. The base of the kiln is then sealed leaving the ports open to allow airflow to continue. The kiln lid is sealed with sand and the two chimneys are placed at the opposite ends leaving the two ports open to allow airflow. The burn is monitored by time, volume and the colour of the smoke. The process can take up to 18 hours but can vary as each burn is very different. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c40ffd6a09b762cf963e1c/1669823068563-QT4115IGQLCXO8GHQX1G/Graham+Hardy-71.jpg Biosphere Stories - West Wight People and Place: Charcoal Maker Graham Hardy - Make it stand out Over time the smoke will change colour from white to a dirty white and the smoke volume will decrease. It is important to monitor this stage closely because if the smoke reduces and turns blue then the charcoal is being burnt and only ash will result. The next stage is to close the airflow and to seal the two chimney ports. Timing is critical here and is done just prior to the smoke turning blue. Once the kiln is closed it will continue to burn for at least another two hours until all the air is burnt off and the fire is extinguished. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c40ffd6a09b762cf963e1c/1669823031188-Y4E1T7336OYGJQ25NBQ4/Graham+Hardy-22.jpg Biosphere Stories - West Wight People and Place: Charcoal Maker Graham Hardy - Make it stand out Bagged up charcoal ready for sale. Finally, the two kilns are then left for three days to cool. After cooling the kiln is opened and charcoal is sorted and packed ready for the market.
