Guides to manufacturing and marketing charcoal in the Northeastern States

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Charcoal manufacture has become the subject of a tremendous new interest in the Northeast in the past few years. In many communities, retailers have been unable to find enough charcoal to fill the demands - even though in the same localities there are large supplies of surplus wood that could be used in making charcoal. As a result of this unfilled demand, we have received many inquiries from people throughout the Northeast who want to know how to make and market charcoal.
