Charcoal Burners Camp
This exhibit shows stages in the construction of a charcoal kiln, and the
charcoal burner's hut. Charcoal is produced by the controlled burning of wood with a
restricted air supply. The burning kiln has to be constantly watched, so the charcoal
burner lived on site with his family. The finished product was sold as a fuel giving an
intense heat about twice that of wood.
