The Log Pile

The charcoal pit is formed by surrounding log piles with solid, non-flammable blocks. The amount of charcoal produced is proportional to the amount of logs contained inside the log piles. To start the burning process, light one of the log piles, and then cover it. If it worked, you should see smoke particles rise up from the structure.
