Fengcheng Charcoal Kiln (Home of Charcoal) Introduction
The Baoshan area is characterized by many hills, and the acacia trees that grow on these hills are excellent raw materials for charcoal production. The harvested wood must be air-dried for over a month, after which the thicker trunks are used for charcoal and the thinner branches for fuel. The wood is then placed in a kiln and roasted for 5-6 weeks to produce high-quality, smokeless, and long-burning charcoal. The Fengcheng Charcoal Kiln combines the efforts of government agencies and the community to create high-quality charcoal using traditional methods. Compared to the mass-produced and imported charcoal made with modern technology, the charcoal from Fengcheng Kiln is particularly durable and produces less smoke. When the kiln is opened, the air is filled with the fragrant smell of burning wood, and the sight of smoke typically attracts photography enthusiasts. To this day, Fengcheng Kiln continues to produce charcoal using traditional earth kilns, allowing modern people to experience the spirit of thrift and diligence of their ancestors. This charcoal kiln is also known as the "Home of Charcoal," which is indeed fitting!
