CHARCOAL BURNING
See our new website www.devonshirefarm.co.uk
Charcoal burning is an ancient craft where a high quality and high value product is made from a low value and low quality timber.
This course takes you through the whole charcoal burning process. You will be taught about sourcing the raw material, siting of the kiln, laying the base and filling the kiln, lighting the kiln, controlling the burn, grading, bagging and marketing of the end product.
Your tutor, Ben May has 20 years experience in making charcoal, at one time making his main living just from charcoal production. This is a no nonsense, no holds barred course which goes into great detail on all aspects of charcoal burning.
This course is particularly well suited to those who are seriously looking into going into charcoal production as a living or as a sideline.
No dogs please.
