| Collect some dried maize cobs from a friendly farmer. |
 |
| Using a mini-kiln, it takes about 3 hours to make a full ngodoro worth of maize cob charcoal (appx. 6kgs). |
|
|
 |
| Begin the carbonization process using the lid to control the air flow. Mix with twigs and branches for blended charcoal if needed. |
 |
| Show your neighbors how easy it is to never buy charcoal again! | |
 |
| Once finished, seal the kiln, let it cool for a few hours and voila! Your lump maize cob charcoal is ready to use! |
Some great things to cook using maize cob charcoal on a Cookswell jiko:
 |
| A small 3 level charcoal oven (15,000ksh) |
 |
| And of course once the maize cobs have been carbonized they no longer emit as much noxious smoke! |
 |
| Ted's famous Ten Minute ribs! |
