Thank you, now I'm ready to start. One comment: The hell I would have jumped the pit. There should have been a bridge structure over the pile, no matter how tall, so that someone could tie his waist to it and dangle from it in case of accidents. Anyway... is it you singing?

After a few days of the burn and the charcoal was formed, didn't they douse the pit with water to begin cooling before raking? I thought I read that somewhere.
Love all your video, they are great!

In Pennsylvania charcoal works I've researched I've never heard of them dousing with water. In fact I've seen quite a few cases where the wagons burst into flames taking charcoal in. That said, I often wondered if they didn;t use water simply because they often made charcoal up on the higher elevation and not near a water supply. One thing is for sure, going into the furnace the charcoal had to be dry.

historically, yes. Filled to top with wood. I think they key is no air spaces.

can you charcoal big round logs about a feet and a half thick/wide?

You can try but my best guess is that you would get uneven charing. In the old days, colliers split every single log down to a few inches in diameter.
