    Mountain biking

    The charcoal kiln was a technique widely used in the past in much of the Alpine, subalpine and Apennine territory, to transform wood, preferably beech, but also fir, larch, ash, chestnut, Turkey oak, pine and mountain pine, into charcoal.

    Although this technique has undergone small changes over the centuries, the charcoal kiln has always maintained the shape of a conical mound, formed by a central chimney and other lateral vent tunnels, used for the purpose of regulating the air draft. The charcoal production process uses pyrolysis, a sort of imperfect combustion of wood, which occurs in conditions of poor oxygenation.
