  2. Charcoal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcoal

    The true art of this production method was in managing the sufficient generation of heat, by combusting part of the wood material, and the transfer of the heat to the wood in the process of being carbonized. The operation was so delicate that it was generally left to colliers (professional charcoal burners). They often lived alone in small huts ...

  3. Smouldering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smouldering

    Biochar is the charcoal produced from the smouldering and/or pyrolysis of biomass. It has the potential to be a short-term solution to lower CO 2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Charcoal is a stable solid and rich in carbon content, and thus, it could be used to lock carbon in the soil.

  4. Charcoal pile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcoal_pile

    Section through a charcoal pile. A charcoal pile or charcoal clamp is a carefully arranged pile of wood, covered by turf or other layer, inside which a fire is lit in order to produce charcoal. The pile is tended by a charcoal burner. It is similar to a charcoal kiln, but the latter is usually a permanent structure made of materials such as stone.

  5. Carbonization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonization

    The carbonization of wood in an industrial setting usually requires a temperature above 280 °C (536 °F), which frees up energy and hence this reaction is said to be exothermic. This carbonization, which can also be seen as a spontaneous breakdown of the wood, continues until only the carbonised residue called charcoal remains. Unless further ...

  6. Pyrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis

    Charcoal is a less smoky fuel than pyrolyzed wood. [26] Some cities ban, or used to ban, wood fires; when residents only use charcoal (and similarly treated rock coal, called coke) air pollution is significantly reduced. In cities where people do not generally cook or heat with fires, this is not needed.

  7. Fire drill (tool) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_drill_(tool)

    The heat eventually turns the wood at the point of contact into charcoal, which is ground to a powder by the friction, that collects into the "V" notch. Continuing operation eventually ignites the charcoal dust producing a tiny ember, which can be used to start a fire in a "tinder bundle" (a nest of stringy, fluffy, and combustible material). [4]

  8. Charring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charring

    A charcoal burner tending his charcoal clamp, in which he is producing charcoal. The process takes days, and the clamp has to be monitored to stop the fire from breaking out (technically, the oxygen from breaking in). Coke and charcoal are both produced by charring, whether on an industrial scale or through normal combustion of coal or wood ...

  9. Top-lit updraft gasifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-lit_updraft_gasifier

    A top-lit updraft gasifier (also known as a TLUD) is a micro-kiln used to produce charcoal, especially biochar, and heat for cooking. [1] A TLUD pyrolyzes organic material, including wood or manure, and uses a reburner to eliminate volatile byproducts of pyrolization.
