In the ancient world they would chop down several trees, cut then up and then put them in a pile. When that was done they would cover the pile with dirt and then set the whole thing on fire. A person would have to sit with this for several days to make sure it didn't get too hot or go out, but when they were done they had charcoal. They cut so many trees in England for this that an entire forest was cut down.

No, charcoal is made by burning wood in a furnace.
Charcoal
Wood is burned at high temperature with a lack of oxygen to create charcoal.
Charcoal starts as wood- or in the case of bone charcoal, animal bones. Since both wood and bone are organic, and they are heated without air to make charcoal, they are still organic (once living) in nature.
Partial burning of wood produces charcoal

We work at a lab testing wood and charcoal burning stoves. Charcoal doesn't burn hotter than wood in a stove. That's why it's better for broiling not burning steaks. Charcoal is used in lots of places like African cities because it makes little smoke and keeps burning for a long time which is more convenient than wood that requires tending. Also charcoal can be made and sold by the rural poor to the urbanites who have more money. And charcoal is lighter than wood for transport. However, more than half of the energy in the wood is wasted when turning wood into charcoal! From an ecological perspective it's a lot better to burn wood cleanly. Charcoal is almost pure carbon ... no moisture, no extraneous chemicals. But don't forget, charcoal is a residue ... a lot of wood was burned to make it.
