CHARCOAL MAKING PART SIX

Bagging up the charcoal
The final process is to bag up the charcoal ready to ship out to retail outlets.
Sylvan Charcoal bag
Et voila!
All ready to go!
Lumpwood charcoal

Many thanks to Ian Baldwin and my fellow volunteer labourers for making this photo-essay possible.

It's great to know that there are people like Ian around who are totally committed to conservation of the countryside through carefully planned woodland and countryside management.

It's up to the rest of us to give Ian and other countryside professionals all the support they deserve.

Would you like to experience charcoal making for yourself? Ian always welcomes helpers to his charcoal burns who are ready to muck in. The kiln is located in Elstead in Surrey. Call Ian direct for availability. If you are a local retailer who wants to offer quality English charcoal from truly sustainable sources Ian would welcome your call.
