Charcoal-burner: woodland peasants, members of a mining association or 
workers in their service making charcoal by burning wood of inferior 
value under an air-tight cover. Today charcoal is still used for 
grills or for forging stainless steel. In Lower Austria some farmers 
still operate a charcoal pile several times a year. A model of a pile 
is displayed in the woodland peasant museum in Gutenstein (Lower 
Austria).
