HOW CHARCOAL IS MADE
Lump charcoal preparation begins with carefully selected hardwood, which is cut and stacked into large piles or kilns.
These piles are arranged to control airflow, ensuring that the wood does not burn completely into ash. Instead, the goal is to slowly transform the wood into charcoal through a controlled heating process.
The stacked wood is covered or placed in a kiln and ignited with limited oxygen. This process, known as carbonization, removes moisture and volatile compounds from the wood while preserving its carbon structure. Pyrolysis plays a key role here, converting raw wood into high-energy charcoal.
Over several hours or days, the wood turns into dense black charcoal, which is then cooled, collected, and prepared for use.
