Lifted bottom screens to keep material away from the heat
I chose 3 day soak and 3 day cook time as the starting point because the yield increases with soak time with 7 day soak being the optimal yield without going to the next level of soaking in lactic acid or sulfuric acid to open the pore size.
Just trying to stay as traditional as possible
Optimal soaking days will depend on wood (subspecy, grade and wich part of the tree).
3 days ? It's enough if temp is quite low .
