Charcoal is a dense black fuel made from burned wood. It is the fuel of metalworking, and almost every forge recipe burns some.
It also burns for a long time in a campfire or stove. In Blacksmithing it is needed to heat the metal for bars, blades, tools and armour. Casting metal in a furnace burns charcoal too. Kilns take it as fuel when firing pottery.
Charcoal sits on the shelves of barbecue stores. Smaller amounts turn up in sheds, supermarkets and garages. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Blacksmithing is the main use. Forge recipes at a Primitive Forge or better take charcoal as fuel. Simple work such as Forge Bar, Cut Bar, Pierce Ingot and Forge Small Knife all burn it. So does Forge Circular Sawblade Into Halves.
Armour work at a Simple Forge or better burns it as well. Forge Metal Body Armor, Forge Metal Helmet and Forge Coat of Plates Body Armor are examples. These also need Tailoring for the straps.
Casting burns charcoal in a furnace. Cast Iron Bar takes four pieces with a Ceramic Bar Mold. Cast Iron Ingot takes twelve with a Ceramic Ingot Mold. Cast Blacksmith Anvil takes ten.
Kilns use it as well. Every Fire Clay recipe accepts a log or a piece of charcoal for fuel. That covers bowls, jars, molds, tiles and bricks.
Charcoal is also the start of Coke. The recipe Make Coke turns eight Charcoal or Wood Charcoal into four Coke at a Dome Kiln. Coke is needed to turn iron into steel at an Advanced Furnace.
As plain fuel, it burns well in a campfire or stove.
Used in Crafting
Everything made with the Charcoal, with how much each recipe takes, the other materials it needs, the station and the skill.

Locations
Barbecue stores are the place to look. Their metal shelves always hold charcoal, and their regular shelves often do. Elsewhere it is rare. Sheds, Gigamart shelves and grocery store shelves turn some up now and then. Garage storage crates have a small chance.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container. Each tab shows one kind of place.
| Location | Container | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Barbecue store | Metal shelves | 100% |
| Barbecue store | Shelves | 40% |
| Gigamart | Shelves | 1.5% |
| Grocery store | Shelves | 1.5% |
| Location | Container | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Shed | Other | 2.1% |
| Garage storage | Crate | 1.1% |
Notes
- A barbecue store is the quickest way to stock up for a first forge.
- A few pieces keep a home stove going for a long stretch.
- Make Coke halves the count, so steel work needs a large charcoal supply.
- Wood Charcoal works in the same recipes for making Coke.
