Hard wood charcoal also called “lump charcoal”, is what you get when wood is burned down to an impurity- free coal in grounded pits. This is achieved when the logs covered with dirt and sheet metal are burnt at one end of the stockpile, and the wood smolders for some days. During this period, the fire burns which are starved with oxygen burns off the water, sap and different volatile material in the wood. The leftover element is almost pure carbon. No binders, no fillers-just pure, simple, high quality charcoal.
