Fengcheng Charcoal Kiln (Home of Charcoal) Introduction
Baoshan is characterized by many hills, with acacia trees growing densely on the slopes. Acacia wood is an excellent material for making charcoal. The harvested wood needs to be dried for more than a month, then the larger logs are used for charcoal, while the smaller branches serve as fuel. They are placed into the kiln and slowly roasted for 5 to 6 weeks to produce high-quality, smokeless, and long-burning charcoal. Fengcheng Charcoal Kiln combines the efforts of public agencies and the community to create high-quality charcoal using traditional methods. After the wood has been roasted for 5 to 6 weeks, compared to modern mass production and imported charcoal, the charcoal produced by Fengcheng Charcoal Kiln is remarkably durable and produces less smoke. Whenever the kiln is opened, the aroma of burning wood fills the air, and the sight of smoke tends to attract photography enthusiasts. To this day, Fengcheng Charcoal Kiln continues to produce charcoal using traditional earth kilns, allowing modern people to experience the diligence and frugality of their ancestors. This charcoal kiln is also known as "The Home of Charcoal," which could not be more fitting!
