Charcoal dates back to a very ancient period, actually, and it started with creating a pile of pieces of wood on their ends (with openings being left in the bottom to admit air), with a central shaft to serve as a flue. Then the entire pile is plastered with turf (moistened clay). The firing begins at the bottom of the flue but slowly starts to spread throughout the rest of the pile. Under average conditions, 100 parts of wood yield about 60 parts by volume, or 25 parts by weight, of charcoal. This operation was so difficult and tedious, it was often left to the professional charcoal burners (colliers) to get it right.
Production of charcoal began in Central Europe. It was a major cause of deforestation, though many woods in England were managed as coppices (in theory, trees that were cut and regrew, so that the steady supply of charcoal would be available forever), though critics said that shortages may relate to the result of temporary over-exploitation or the impossibility of increasing production to match growing demand.
