Hello Hivers 💕💘,




In west African Nigeria, there are some profession that are very ancient and traditional in nature. This means that some careers that are being done by people from past ages is charcoal making. To so many people it may look extremely odd. But yes some people are actually
dedicated to do this and it can be learned. Despite the fact that it's also a way of earning money. Charcoal making in a very large quantity can be exported into another country or for commercial uses. I've been in so many places where this charcoal making was been prepared from the scratch. It's very educative and informative. I said this because from very first time to the last step of charcoal making it's very educative to learn.

Recently I was also passing from one state to another then I saw that this was actually made happening on a piece of land. The first thing that came to my mind was that I needed to capture the moment so that so many people can actually see and learn from it. Although it may come with some hazard or disadvantages to the environment are to the atmosphere. I said this because of how cloudy the atmosphere was when I came to the charcoal making spot. I took some pictures of what I met at that point in time. I will also explain some few steps to make a charcoal.

  • Before you can even think about making a charcoal you need some few tools and few procedures to take. You must ensure that you have a lot of trees to cut into smaller pieces from it branches around the environment. When this is not much then you must not think about making a charcoal.

Charcoal making can be made simple when you have all this at your fingertips. You must also ensure that you have laborers that will assist you to cut down the branches of the trees that are extremely wet I mean fresh trees. Before they start to arrange the trees accordingly. When it is been arranged in layers, then it will also make a very good charcoal when you add a lot of fresh tree branches as well our leaves in between the already laid down cut branches.

  • You must also make sure that the environment where they charcoal making is being prepared must be open environment. This will activate a lot of good favored interaction between the burning fresh tree branches with the fresh leaves.

You should also know that you need a professional hand in making sure that it is been done properly. You will also make an opening that you will open up a fire through it and gradually it will catch up they remaining fresh tree branches. When it is also done properly slowly the fire burning will start from edge to another within 2 weeks or more depending on the type of wood you have cut down.

The cover of the old fresh tree branches and the fresh leaves will also be done. This will also make the reaction be quick and the charcoal to be also very effective for usage. Thereafter the smoke may be extremely thick at first but as soon as it become more lighter that means that the charcoal making as being gradually made.
