Step-by-Step Guide to Making Char Cloth
Check below for a quick guide, or read our in depth article on HOW TO MAKE CHAR CLOTH
Step 1: Prepare Your Materials
Cut your fabric into small, square pieces that fit easily inside your tin. Pack the tin nice and tight so you have lots of char cloth or char material to work with.
Step 2: Prepare the Tin
Take your metal container and ensure it’s clean. Poke a small hole in the lid if it's tight fitting or doesn't have small holes around the sides already. This hole allows gases to escape during the charring process, preventing pressure buildup.
Step 3: Load the Tin
Place your fabric pieces inside the tin and close the lid tightly. Go ahead and pack your tin full enough not to leave open spaces where oxygen can enter.
Step 4: Heat the Tin
Place the tin directly onto your heat source. If you’re using a campfire, put it on a stable bed of coals. If using a stove or candle, ensure the flame covers the bottom of the tin. You’ll notice smoke escaping through the hole as the fabric undergoes pyrolysis so do this outdoors.
Step 5: Watch for Completion
If your using a fire, let it burn out, if not wai't till the smoke stops coming out of your tin (about 15 minutes), indicating that the charring process is complete. Remove the tin from the heat using tongs or gloves, and let it cool completely before opening. Opening too soon can allow oxygen in, causing the cloth to ignite.
Step 6: Check Your Char Cloth
Open the tin and examine the cloth. It should be blackened and fragile but intact, with a consistent charred texture. If some parts are not fully charred, repeat the process for a few more minutes.
Step 7: Store Your Char Cloth
Store your char cloth in a waterproof container or resealable bag to keep it dry. Now, you have a reliable fire-starting material ready to use whenever needed.
