Did you know...

Did you know that you can create a permanent charcoal pit from stone bricks or other blocks un-affected by gravity, and don't need to cover it up with dirt all the time except for the entrance?

Because I have never seen or heard of anyone doing it.

I had one of these for a while, but have found it easier to go into the middle of a dense forest and just build an impromptu pit while I clear the surrounding forest. Saves me many trips between my base as charcoal stacks much better.

I suppose I could be "environmentally friendly" and have a tree farm, but that's more work then I like to spend on charcoal.

Or people find it obvious and not worse mentioning

But yes it a good thing to do.

Also it's good to keep covering the top with dirt. That way you know when it's ready.

Cutting regular forest trees is a waste of time usually, unless it's a willow, sequoia or fir forest which are rare, so you better just grow your own.

Did you know you can build charcoal pit out of glass? Or slabs? Did you know that you can even -deleted-

Glass sounds interesting.

hahaha, really?

[Pakislav 120]

Glass you say? I must try this.

I wonder if oyu can cover it with... flowers. Or snow. How about Ice?

I don't think you have to worry about that too much - at least not on B66. With the rate trees come popping back up, every forest is a tree farm.

Now this is something I must try.

So slabs count as pit cover too? Even if I cut it up to 0.1x0.1x0.1 of a block??

It works for forges and bloomeries.

Theorically yes, because it isn't a full blick, but it occupies the space of a full block, then fire can't start. Yes, it should work.

[transcengopher 349]

I give you a little hint.

This:

has something to do with "-deleted-" sign in my post.

yes, everyone should watch Nieztro's videos. He even has a series that I was in

Yeah... talking about that, any idea when he will be back? :

Did Just_Another_Guy just correct English. Last time I was on he was just learning.

Anyway I don't know where you got the idea you need to use dirt, on the wiki it just says it needs to be covered. I think nice, deep, circular, brick charcoal pits with a window on top make great yard ornaments.

[Sin 1]

I knew about the permanenet structure of a charcoal pit but exactly how large can one make it? Is there a limit? I haven't really tried it myself - probably should.

[Buczkowski 36]

The maximum size is 25 x 25 x 13.
