There's your charcoal. I ground it through a cast iron mincer then a gem tumbler with 50 cal round balls for about 4 hours.
Added some other ingredients, tumbled again at the full length of my longest extention cord,now you have "gunmeal"add 5% dexrin,dampen slightly and push it through fly screen mesh.let it dry on newspaper.
Quite fast and clean.
