Many Thanks to Alan and Jo Waters for their Kind permission to add this film to the List.
Soul of fire shows a rare earth burn (traditional charcoal burn) by Alan Waters that takes place over three days in a Woodland near Chichester.
It happens only once a year on 11th August, Saint Alexander’s Day – the patron saint of charcoal burning. This 8000 year old craft has changed the world.

Alan and Jo Waters are expert charcoal makers with many years experience of this traditional skill from the land they coppice. Here they speak about the benefits of charcoal production using the Exeter Retort.
