Cool! This was done almost exactly as when making birch-tar/oil, only scaled up. I played with the thought of making a small, and very crude log-'shed' to add an amusing twist in the axe challenge on Skillcult. Since it's likely to get quite shitty, I'd need tar to remedy that a bit.
How many firings of that bucket do you think you'll need for your cabin?

Hi Shawn thanks for that I've always wanted to know how to make charcoal. The tar, other than waterproofing cord and your roof, what else can it be used for, also what type of pine tree did you get the wood from? I have radiarta pine trees near me, they would work for the charcoal but I don't know if they give off tar.

Pine tar is great stuff, I use it to treat outdoor structures that are not painted such as the deck, mix it with BLO for a combination treatment. The region where I live used to be famous for pine tar exports in the 1600-1800s, particularly to the brits and other empires atr the time to use on their ships.

Great stuff Shawn. Endlessly fascinating to see what can be done with natural materials like this, especially when it's edited and shot from someone with direct experience like you have and are living. Looking forward to going through your work and future videos from your property.

It seems to be the same process as with birch bark but you get charcoal also. A ships fire bucket, with the domed bottom as per Canadian law, would be the rig as a burn bucket. The dog is growing up. She'll be big enough to retreive ducks this fall. Thanks for the video.

I ALWAYS learn from your videos sir. Thanks for sharing and keep this info coming! I have some really saturated fat wood but nowhere near what you used, maybe enough to fill a gallon paint can. Would I use the tar, once I made it, as is for an antiseptic?

Theoretically, is it possible, using this method. To make charcoal, wood alcohol, and pine tar? Seems all three use the same method, while the wood alcohol requires a still

Great video Shawn. Does the tar take on the consistency of resin when it cools, or is it still pretty fluid like? Also, how do you apply it to the cabin? Thanks for sharing.
