    In the past it was very common to produce charcoal through an ancient procedure of cooking the wood which was thus transformed into charcoal.

        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.
