"This is a perfect, ready-made 'Dry Distillation Kiln'!"
"It is a metal container that can isolate wood from flames, allowing for oxygen-deprived heating, and its capacity is just right for my small-scale production."
He tightly packed the small iron barrel with dry birch blocks he had prepared earlier, filling this approximately 20-liter iron barrel with nearly ten kilograms of dry birch wood.
Lin Yu'an quickly calculated in his mind that according to the most primitive dry distillation method, achieving a charcoal yield of twenty percent would be a success. This barrel could produce at most less than two kilograms of charcoal.
He frowned slightly: "Forging that thick steel rod is a huge energy-consuming process, and each heating requires a large amount of charcoal."
"But if it's only two kilograms, it will probably only be enough for a few critical heatings and hammerings. This means I have no room for error."
"However, luckily..."
