I J Charcoal Cookery Craze Gives Market Value To Useless W ood USELESS WOOD Is being turned into a marketable product by Teas Extract Corapaay in Andrews where about 9,400 pounds of charcoal Is being turned out daily. America's outdoor eharooal grilling craze has given commercial value to otherwise val ueless wood. (Photo by SmDey's Studio) The outdoor charcoal cookery craze has provided a market for wood which formerly had no com mercial value, and Teas Extract Company at Andrews is now turn ing out charcoal from nine kilns. Some 9,000 cords of already cut chestnut wood, which had been purchased by Teas over a period I of years is now being turned into! marketable charcoal. W. T. Teas, vice president of the company, explained the process this way: t&tEQSl ? 1 . 1 A cord and a half of wood la placed in each kiln before being ignited around 4 p. m. each day. Drafts near the ground keep the wood burning for approximately nine hours. A period of 18 or more hours is required tor a cooling-off period. Mr. Teas said each kiln yields a bout 1,000 pounds, or around 5C bags of crude charcoal, the kiln being dismantled to remove the charcoal. The product is then shipped by boxcar to Western North Carolina Charcoal Company in Aahevtlle, recently organized to provide a use for the otherwise worthless wood and other by-products. In addition to the Asheville mar ket shipment of wood in the yards is also sent to Virginia. Teas stated that at this time he does not contemplate expansion of the kilns. The charcoal is used exclusively for outdoor grills.
