A pile of charcoal

Charcoal is the remains after organic matter, most often wood, is carbonized in a closed, controlled environment.

As the heat produced by burning charcoal is hotter, more even, and more easily controlled than wood, it has been valued throughout human history.[1]

In the 5th century Greece, charcoal was used to heat and light up homes.[2] as well as blacksmith's furnace.[1]

The habit of using braziers with charcoal was also widely used in Egypt during the Ptolemaic rule.[3]
