The Charcoal Process

Step  1 

Our wood is sourced and seasoned locally 

Step 2 

The logs are cut to size and moved to covered storage within the woodland.

Logs are seasoned for 1 - 3 years

Step 3

The kiln is prepared and logs are loaded into barrels

Step 4

A barrel is loaded into the retort and cooks for 2-4 hours until 600 degrees centigrade is reached and the wood gasses reduce

Step 5 

The barrel is removed from the kiln and stored in a sand bed and left for 24 hours to cool before it is opened to check all the wood is converted to charcoal

Step 6

The charcoal is graded into the different size mesh to guarantee the perfect size for each product and using the cyclone for a second time to make sure it is as dust free as possible
