Most anything containing a decent amount of carbon can be turned into charcoal. the basic principle is to bake off the impurities (undesired material) and to leave the carbon behind. This can be achieved a couple of ways. By igniting the material and the quenching it once the impurities are burned off but before the carbon burns off. This method is the most basic, however it doesn't always yield the best results as you loose some of the carbon to burning or not all of the impurities will burn off. Or you can bake your desired material. This provides the best end product as none of the desired material is lost to burning and all the impurities are burned off. It does require extra fuel to bake with though and so it can be inefficient. you can supplement the fuel being burned with the gasses that are produced by baking to make the process more efficient. The last method is the Light and burry method. This is a mix of both previous methods. You light your fuel on fire, and once it has produced sufficient heat you deprive the material of oxygen (burying is one of the most common) this will use the heat from the fire to bake it's self. This process can take a very long time depending on the size of the material and the quantity.
