Petromax Charcoal Burner

Petromax Charcoal Burner

Petromax has given the age-old tradition of producing charcoal in an oven a modern twist. You can make your own charcoal for the campfire kitchen in the stainless steel charcoal burner. This does not require an oven, but the operation is the same: low-oxygen combustion, also called pyrolysis. You can start making your own charcoal while cooking a dish in your Dutch Oven over the campfire because the charcoal burner is placed directly into the fire. You fill the container with wood. Hardwood charcoal produced in this way has the property of having a long glowing phase, producing little smoke and burning at high temperatures. The charcoal gives your dishes the typical smoky aroma, while you have full control over the origin of the wood and the quality of the charcoal. This is not only sustainable, but also very flexible: by selecting the wood you can later determine your own smoke aroma. You can use both logs and twigs to burn charcoal, so that the wood can be used optimally. Make your own charcoal: Instructions for use You can use the lid to seal the charcoal burner airtight and within a few hours you can then observe the charred emissions of yellow and ultimately white smoke. Exactly the same thing you would see in a real oven. Then remove the charcoal burner from the fire and let it cool overnight. The next morning you will have charcoal with a long burning time. You can easily clean the charcoal burner from the inside with a mild cleaning agent, water and a cloth.
