Making Charcoal and then selling it is a huge business here. Further away from town people will gather sticks and branches from trees, build a pile 5-6 feet tall, cover it with dirt and light it in the center before closing in the pile with dirt. A few hours later they have charcoal that is bagged and hauled to the larger towns. Virtually all cooking and heating of food and water comes from charcoal, homemade! I will try and get some pictures of the trucks that haul it. Amazing how much a truck can be overloaded! |
