In the forest near Hasselfelde, Germany, brothers Immo and Jan Feldmer are continuing the ancient practice of charcoal burning. The process began as Immo Feldmer tipped smoldering charcoal into a large, earth-covered mound to initiate the production cycle.

The mound is constructed by tightly stacking beech wood inside, which is then left to smolder for several weeks. This controlled burning process gradually transforms the wood into charcoal, preserving a traditional method of production that the brothers maintain in the German woodland.
