Charcoal burning is an ancient craft that is now almost extinct, but in the past it was a decisive factor in the industrialization of entire regions: the blast furnaces of the iron and steel industry, for example, depended on charcoal to reach the operating temperature necessary for melting ore. As a result, entire regions were once completely deforested by charcoal burning, and it is only thanks to later reforestation that forests have grown again and nature can be seen.
