The Woodsmith Midi Charcoal Kiln is a superb choice for small-scale charcoal production. This kiln transforms low-value hardwood into high-quality BBQ charcoal, making it a valuable asset for sustainable practices. It is particularly suitable for:

• Owners of small woodlands
• Countryside parks
• Agricultural and forestry education institutions
• Conservation groups

You can expect consistent production capacity of about 30-35kg of charcoal per burn from native hardwoods. While it's not intended for commercial-scale production, a single burn typically completes within 5-6 hours, making it perfect for personal use, educational demonstrations, and hands-on teaching sessions.

The Midi Charcoal Kiln comes with a plain steel finish, unpainted. As such, you may notice superficial traces of rust upon delivery, which does not affect the kiln's performance or durability.

Specifications:
