I found a "How It's Made" video on youtube about charcoal manufacture..

Youtube may use artificial intelligence to guess videos I may be interested in,, and of course it saw my frequent grilling/smoking searches. This popped up and I thought perhaps more folks  than just me would enjoy the 5 minute piece.

Pretty cool. I actually have 2 boxes of the Ford charcoal from the 1930's that was mentioned in the video.

That's really interesting! I wonder what the 100's of uses besides our personal favorite were? Thanks for sharing. Don
