Why is peat shortaned?
I don't believe it is. Peat moss is a growing, living plant. When peat moss dies, it clumps together in a peat bog of water, and over the decades, gets more and more compacted. This product is then called, "Peat". The peat then can be cut into pieces and taken home to use as fuel for the stove or fireplace. This is very handy when there is not much wood around, and coal is too expensive.

How do you cut Irish peat brick and is it soft and easy to cut?
Peat cutting is part of the culture in the history of many countries, particularly Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Holland. Peat bricks were primarily used to heat homes, although sometimes they were used as building materials. Although it is rare, there are still those who cut peat and use it for heating purposes, usually using modern machines rather than cutting by hand. Step1 Cut a deep trench in the peat bog, approximately 9 feet deep. This must be wide enough to provide a workspace for the peat cutters as they cut the peat bricks. This is a job that is traditionally done by the men. 1 Step1 Measure the peat to desired proportions. This is usually a 9 inch by 9 inch by 9 inch block, although the size and dimensions vary according to culture and the purpose of the block--for burning in a stove or for building purposes. 2 Step3 Set the bricks on the side of the trench for drying. This keeps them out of the way of the cutting work and is the first step in the drying process. Leave them to dry for two to three weeks. 3 Step4 Turn the peat bricks. When one side dries turn the brick so another side is on top, giving it a chance to dry. It is very important to make sure the entire brick is dry so it burns efficiently. 4 Step5 Store the peat bricks in a croft or shed. The bricks need to be stacked in piles, or rickles, ready for use in a peat oven or as building materials. Make sure the bricks are kept in a storage space to keep them dry.
