In England, the men would sit up all night on watch to make sure things smoldered and did not begin to flare up. To stop them falling asleep, they'd use two-legged stools (rather like a milking stool, but minus a leg). If they fell asleep, they'd fall off the stool and wake up. Hence the term, 'nodding off'.
Here in Ohio we called them Raggies. They were itinerants that traveled around NE Ohio and used the method shown here. We used smaller stacks of wood but there was still a shrinkage of 40-50%. We used water to cool things down enough so that a fire wouldn't start while raking out.
The demise of charcoal making in the United States is misleading as it continues to this day. Perhaps not to be used in smelting iron but rather in cooking and many other uses. Charcoal making still lives on.
How on earth did that make me seem like i sound smart? And i am right, Hopewell is on google maps.... Its called sarcasm mate, im amazed you havent encountered it before.
@@vernonpeterson3323 I'll help you out little guy since you seem so desperate to figure out where it is Now, if you look at the description you'll see it says Hopewell Furnace, which is a historical site, if you put that into google you'll quickly find that its in Pennsylvania, not too far from Philadelphia. There, that wasn't so hard now was it.... I may not necessarily be smart yet it took me less then a minute to figure it out.... and youve been waiting for 3weeks...... *3WEEKS* ...... Hows about you try and do some work yourself next time, can't be spoon fed your whole life. And no i dont live alone, what does that have to do with sarcasm? Seriously? And yes it was humourous, since *its on google maps* and all the *relevant* info is in the *description* which you neglected to check cause you simply dont possess the skillset necessary to figure it out, in other words a *"functioning"* brain and you simply just dont have a sense of humour mate, infact you seem utterly devoid of genuine humour. But best of luck little man
