Charcoal
Pieces of dry wood have been cut to size and placed in metal containers with lids, wrapped with wire to secure them. A single hole punched in the lid allows for hot air to escape. A fire is built around the tins and maintained for at least 1 hour.

The tins of wood (now charcoal) are left in the coals of the fire, and then to cool overnight.
2019
The next day, with the fire and metal tins fully cool, the charcoal can be retrieved.
2019
Tins of charcoal removed from the fire (Altoid and tea tins are good sizes for making charcoal.)
