This is a charcoal producing business right by our market. You can always smell fire burning when you go outside. We've seen beggars and other street workers building a fire in our park or on the sidewalks or streets so I thought that was where the smoke was coming from but I was so surprised to find this operation so close. The little man that owns it was so proud to get his picture taken. I took about a million pictures, I was so fascinated. I remember Zeb telling about people in the D.R. making charcoal by slowly burning hard wood in a pit and making their charcoal. I probably wouldn't have figured out what he was doing if it hadn't have been for remembering Zeb's story.
