| In this video I will show you how to make homemade charcoal using the retort method. It is optional but recomended that you use a resparator and wear gloves as coal tar is a carcinogen. The best types of charcoal to use are soft woods but different woods can serve different purposes. soft woods such as Pine, Aspen, Ash, Willow, Balsa, Grapevine, and Maple are good for fast burning compositions such as black powder. Hard wood charcoals such as Oak, Mesquite, and Hickory are good for slow burning compositions such as willow, as Hard wood compositions burn with dim, dense orange sparks.
