Introduction: How to Make Charcoal Carbon and Flammable Gas?

About: Hi everyone! I'm David, coming from small city in (also) small country called Croatia. I'm attending 2nd class of secondary school. I am running a local DIY site which also sells components all over a Croatia…
Here is a simple, and cheap solution to play.. It's absolutely free, and it's fun. So, let's start!
Be careful, because this is dangerous. Watch out of the gases that are coming out of the hole, and on a very, very hot bowl. You could use some glasses, or mouth mask if you have it.
In pictures you can see what you'ill got!

Step 1: Things We'ill Need

* Metal bowl - The most important thing, can be from tin of food, or from facial cream, dosen't important
* Cover for Metal bowl - If it's of facial cream, no probem, but if it's of the tin of food, you can take some sheet metal a cover it, be careful about the holes around.
* Toothpicks - About 20
* Hammer - For a nail
* Middle nail
* Lighter

Step 2: Let's Prepare

You need to prepare a cover of Metal bowl. Take the hammer and with a nail make a hole.

Then, take a toothpicks, break them on three pieces and put them i bowl.

Step 3: Warming

Let's go out,  don't do this in a closen space!

Light the stove, put the bowl on, you can help with tongs. Warm it... When the smoke started to go out, don't do nothing(Picture 1). When the some smoke, or we can say steam, started to go out from the hole, take the lighter near. Them you will se fireworks! The flammable gas is going out, and you fired it. Important thing is to NOT to move a bowl when is fire burning, because you will just light it off.

Step 4: Turn Off the Stove

When fire went off, that means all compounds are out of the wood(toothpicks), turn off the stove and move it from the fire. Watch out, it's hot! Be wait it's cold down, then open it. You are watcing a charcoal carbon[C] - first pic. Take it out on a white paper and be proud :) - Pic 2
