Birch tar is an excellent natural material, which can be used a lot where at home. But where can I get it in the right amount?
Of course, if necessary, you can buy it at the pharmacy. Here are just a small fly in the ointment is expensive. In this review we will tell you where you can get it a lot and for free.
Birch tar is made from birch, but it is not worth destroying a living tree for this. In the forest you can find trees littered with wind, which can no longer be helped. Here they are just perfect for our purposes.
The main stages of work
With the help of a small hatchet, it will be necessary to make incisions in the bark. After that, we pick out small pieces of bark and put them in a bag or bag.
Next, you will need an old pan that you have not used for a long time (you can use aluminum or metal). We dig a hole, lower the pan there and sprinkle with earth. We remove the cover.
In the next step, you will need an unnecessary tank or large pan. A hole must be drilled in the bottom. We put the tank so that the hole is above the pan in the hole.
We fill the tank with birch bark, and then you need to cover the tank with branches or boards - firewood, in a word. On top of the lid you need to put a brick, and set fire to the "hut".
When everything burns out and cools down, you will need to remove the tank, remove the pan from the hole and pour the tar into the jar. By the way, excellent birch coals are obtained from birch bark in a tank.
