Abstract

Apparatus (102) for the manufacture of charcoal, comprising a unit (201) having walls (204, 206, 207, 208) defining a primary combustion chamber (209), and a material inlet (107) for allowing a feed of wood chips (103) through said material inlet into said apparatus. A trough (219) is located at a lower height than said material inlet such that material (103) passing through said material inlet is able to fall into the trough. An air inlet (228) is located below the material inlet such that, when wood chips are located within the trough piled up to said material inlet, air passing from said air inlet passes through said wood-chips and into the primary combustion chamber (209).
