Charcoal Making in Clay Stove
Clay Preparation
1. At the center of the oven, stand a 2 meters straight wood which will serve as support for wood to be arranged perpendicular to the oven.
– Shorter cuts of wood will be arranged around the center until it reaches the wall of the round pit of the oven.
– Use only woods which grow easily like ipil-ipil, bakauan, pototan, kakawate, kamachile, anabiong, tangal, agoho and alibangbang.
– Add small cuttings of wood on top of the first layers of wood in order to help mold the top walls or roof of clay.
