Moses the lumber man inspects a teak plantation in St. Andrews, Grenada. These trees were planted too close together so many are too small to be usable; however, there are some very good ones as well.

We got them at the local markets in Grenada.
What's banana stems for?
I'm 32 yrs old and I live in st Vincent.. I've only seen this tree once in my lifetime. It's a rare specie
Can we used wet wood?
I can't think of a more wasteful, time, and effort consuming way to make charcoal. What a lot of work and wood for such little charcoal.
What method do you like?
You must be white
How much per square foot
This is so amazing. This shows that there's no age limit in any talent.
This is not something for young people. It takes years of practice. The older the person doing it is the more talented they are.
@locall_herbs yeah no one under age 80 could ever light a fire and cover it with dirt
No age limit to any talent huh? You see alot of elderly gymnasts? How about 90 year old mountain climbers, basketball players, track stars or skiers?
Can we used wet wood?
Enjoyed looking at this, it brought back so much memories ❤

He's a tough ole bird! There may have been an easier way, maybe not. Anything easy holds little value. The lamb was his little buddy
One has to be gifted to have the ability, to make charcoal. Thank you Sir for your service to Humanity.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Where to buy Lisbon yams?
I believe there was a tree of this species growing in the Mount Hope area of Trinidad about 15 years ago. Haven't been near the place in years so don't know if the tree still exists.
I used to make them when I was younger, I grow up in the village. Now I move to the USA it is different.
The newer ways might be quicker, but this way burns very thick wood
There are older ways that are faster and waste less wood too.

crude and laborious

You did great😊
Such a sweet sweet yam growing gentleman. I salute you and wish you long life, health, prosperity and continued love for what you do❤️🍯❤️🙏
This King Is very inspirational keeping the knowledge of his tradition up. How much profit does all that charcoal bring in?
Put it this way the harder the wood the longer-term it will last there's special wood for that and u know when it's hard because of the sparks it gives out of (kupairsh ) 👍🏿
Couldn’t u use steel sheet metal with holes punched into it to line between the soil and wood. Seems like it’d cut the work in half.
Great video. Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge.
"This is sweet yam" 20 times
I wonder if the longer process makes the wood stronger, this burning longer?

poor guy too much work .
Not sure this is a very good way of making charcoal...
Better way?
You can start this video at 10 min in and miss nothing important
I like this vidio..its originel cultur
Interesting way of making charcoal.. I feel like this was an incredible amount of work and took a long time though... there are a lot of ways to make it pretty simply, including covering a pile of wood in mud and let it burn for a few hours before plugging up the air holes. That only takes like 6 hours. This took several days. It’s always interesting seeing it done if different ways though.
this is a whole lot more charcoal though
More wood more time it takes. And the longer it takes the better d quality of the charcoal,it last longer for kitchen purpose.🤗
Beautiful dark mahogany color. I miss living in the Carribean
