Re: Charcoal

Hi everyone,

We have been using charcoal for years and use the ash and left over burnt
wood and put it in a bag and smash it with the spade till the disired
size is reached. We have allways used wood from a fire that has been
started with a piece of paper and kindling, don't trust the charcoal that
you buy in shops.

Kind regards
