Making charcoal

About three years ago,
my husband and I were invited to charcoal making
by his colleague.

His colleague lives in a small village in Tango.

After burning for long long time (maybe about 8 hours),
we pulled the burned woods...



and cover them with dirt.

This was done in March.
It was a beautiful day.

Charcoal can be used as heater.
But also, it is really good to dry a room.
You keep it in a humid place.
It sucks water and keep the room dry.

We use some under our kitchen sink.
