    Every time Mr Ishitani posts a video I fell like I've been granted a visit into an area of timeless tranquility, superb craftsmanship and innovation. Always a joy.

    I love it! My Dad showed me how to make something similar when I was a kid. Mix sawdust and wax and put it in a paper egg carton. Then cut it apart and light it up egg carton and all. Thanks for the good memories.

      Nice if you've got lots of sawdust, my Dad had a large jar - 5-6 pints? - filled with pure alcohol and he just chucked wine corks in (got to be real cork) bingo! firelighters. One drawback (?) is having to empty the wine bottles first...

    This man exudes peacefulness, tranquility, relaxation. He does NOTHING in a hurry, every single movement is deliberate and precise. I guess that's why his pieces are all so beautiful! Thats why I also love to watch him work it really helps relax me, which is NOT how I am normally.

    If you had just showed me the pellets at 1:20 I would have guessed that they are made by some form of continuous extrusion process, whereby an auger squeezes hot feedstock through a hexagonal hot-end, and a pasta-style chopper at its tip chops the extruded bar into smaller pieces.

    Great to see the process! Wondering if the same could be achieved using all-natural materials? For example mixing the sawdust with pine resin? Curious to hear your thoughts!

    • @cfmcgheeII
      @cfmcgheeII ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pine resin does not fully burn up, and leaves a residue wherever the smoke goes. Plus, you would not be able to use this for starting grill charcoal, as the residue gives everything a nasty taste.

    • @rudlterranigma5386
      @rudlterranigma5386 ปีที่แล้ว

      Resin usually tends to blow up when burning which make nice crackle sounds in the ofen, but would stop the firestarters

    you should try to puts the big logs at the bottom of the pile, and the small kindle wood on it and then the fire starters on top of it. It seems to make no sens to do so, but this will reduce the amount of pollution when your fire starts.

      Wax is a high molecular weight hydrocarbon.
      When heated it first melts, then vapourises.
      The vapour combines with atmospheric oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
      It burns. Like a candle.

      The firestarter is basically a candle that all burns up in about a minute. It's hotter than the paper and start a fire even if the wood isn't perfectly dry. It's a helpful convenience.
