 Final Thoughts
 Practice, practice, practice. There's a lot of guesswork and instinct involved in hearth operation that cannot be conveyed without experience. Sit down with a few hundred wood, and practice making charcoal. Try forcing the hearth into certain "bad" states, so you'll better understand how to avoid them. Also, if you find something that works for you, and it's contrary to this document, don't hesitate to use it; this is based solely on my experiences and preferences, so it may not work for everyone. I just hope to help one person out there who is ready to kill their charcoal hearth.

		+	'''Video Demonstration'''
		+	I've created a video to demonstrate how I make charcoal. I let the oxygen get a little low a couple of times when I was venting but as long as it doesn't go completely to zero, it's not a problem. Notice that I kept the heat up very high and was ready to add some water at all times. I can run 3 or 4 ovens like this simultaneously because they all seem to stay in synch if you begin the process on all of them almost at the same time, and also add the wood/water at the same time etc

+== Regulator - Charcoal Hearth only ==
 The regulator appears to control the amount of random shift in the hearth's behavior; increasing the regulation reduces the randomness and increases the time between ticks (allowing you more time to respond). Try starting with the hearth set to no more than 2. If you have problems, increase the regulation a step or two, and try again. With some experience, you should be able to make the hearth work most of the time with no regulation. Regulation is excellent for controlling randomness when running multiple hearths (4+)and with patience you can succeed with efficiencies less than 2:1 without using any water (except to speed cooling to take your cc and start again faster).
 You cannot change the regulation once the hearth is running, so make sure it's set where you want it before you start.
