I recently discovered another fantastic blog written by Rick McKee, a traditional Carpenter from New England, who last week blogged about the traditional Charcoal burn at the Plimoth Plantation museum in Massachusetts.

The museum recreates life in Plimoth in the 1620s, so it's charcoal burn is very relevant to our charcoal making as it might have been in 1599.
I emailed Rick and he has put me in contact with Mark the lead Collier (and a blacksmith at Plimoth) who has had 22 years of charcoal making! Needless to say I am now going to ask Mark soooo many questions about how they do it over there!
I REALLY recommend checking out Rick's blog especially his charcoal entry from 17 September 2015
