Back in Model T days, Henry Ford made charcoal out of the wood scraps from building cars, I think it was called Kingsford charcoal and it's still being sold today

In Madagascar they say all meals including in the big hotels are cooked on charcoal. Small trees are cut down with a hatchet put in a pit lit on fire and then covered in dirt. You can see the workers on the side of roads covered in soot with their bags of charcoal. Never saw one saw cut all the time on island these people are poor beyond belief though seem happy. Was such a great experience going there but very depressing at the same time.

When I was a kid, my father used to make charcoal by using the earth mound method. Our main use for it was for when slaughtering our hogs or cattle, to have something to grill the meat for the family and friends that joined us. This was in the early 70s, so it wasn’t so too long ago. The earth mound worked. Great video. Thanks for posting.

I'm an avid producer of biochar to supplement my composting efforts. You should have a look at modern domestic composting options and the benefits of turning bio-waste into substances that enhance garden soil while leaving these waste products out of landfill.

What is the difference between Normal Charcoal and Activated Charcoal? I understand that Coconut Shells are widely used in the manufacture of Activated Charcoal. Any special reason for that?

The one use that wasn't mentioned was as a medium in art.

It's also 100% renewable. The carbon in Charcoal comes from the air.
