Chad Zuber's video: How to NOT make Quicklime - What am I doing wrong episode 3 2

Quicklime has many industrial applications which interest me, especially for making cement mortar, to nixtamalize corn, and as a soil amendment. However, as I found out today, making quicklime isn't as easy as online tutorials make it seem.
