charcoal burner

Makes fuel from wood

A charcoal burner is a person who makes charcoal by slowly burning wood in a controlled, low-oxygen environment—historically a solitary occupation conducted in forests.

The term also refers to a device or kiln used for this process, or to a stove or grill that burns charcoal as fuel: We cooked the steaks on a charcoal burner.
