CHARCOAL PRODUCTION
I believe it is presently feas
ible to produce charcoal for
fireplace and charcoal broilers,
in District 7.
Equipment is available for
about $1,200 F.O.B. This equip
ment will produce good quality
charcoal using the destructive
distillation process It is a con
tinuous operation requiring a
minimum of attention. Needs
no electricity or power and can
be readily moved to the source
of supply.
