CHARCOAL-MAKING METHOD AND CHARCOAL-MAKING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charcoal-making method and a charcoal-making apparatus in which a production of charcoal can be efficiently performed from discharged lumber and bamboo so that a situation in which lumber and bamboo is discharged by a large amount and neglected at the time of care of Satoyama is resolved.SOLUTION: A charcoal chamber 1 is formed by a space surrounded by a basilar part 2, a side part 3 that is risen from the basilar part 2, a closing lid 4 that covers an upper side of the side part 3, the charcoal chamber 1 is that charcoal is input into a basilar part 2 from an upper opening made by removing the closing lid 4 to make a charcoal bed 5 at the lowermost part, and an air supply path 6 that can supply air to the charcoal bed 5 is provided. The charcoal chamber 1 is disposed with two or more firing pipes 7 to reach the charcoal bed 5, a raw material 8 that comprises lumber and bamboo that becomes charcoal is housed in the charcoal chamber 1 avoiding these firing pipes 7. These firing pipes 7 are used to input a kindling to the charcoal bed 5, then these firing pipes 7 are taken out, the upper opening of the charcoal chamber 1 is closed by the closing lid 4, thereby charcoal-making is started. After completion of charcoal-making, the air supply path 6 is closed, suffocation extinction is performed, temperature is lowered, then the closing lid 4 is opened and completed charcoal is taken out.
