Definitely _not_ a retort. I have seen photos/article about this style of charcoal maker in England or the SE USA (can't recall exactly). IIRC, They said they needed two or three to make good use of their time: one to fill, one burning, maybe one to be cooling off. I'll try to find the link.

Here is a link to a medium sized retort: you would need some massive tanks to upscale it. Make sure you look at the last two pictures for his improved version. I want it!

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
