Earc,
 
Not useless at all!
 
There's an old saying, "chivalry isn't dead, it's just unemployed.  Same thing with knowledge that you just described.  Whether it gets employed again is up to speculation.  But it's still good to know!
 
Thanks for sharing.  I saw a good bit of info on making charcoal.  Basically take a 30 gal barrel, fill it with wood bits, but it in a 55 gal barrel with firewood and light up the 55 gal barrel.  As you said, in short order the wood inside the 30 gal barrel will be charcoal.  That will keep the dutch ovens going well!
