Outreach programs

From time to time our collaborators from the Virginia Department of Forestry, Virginia Cooperative extension, Virginia Tech, Virginia State University, and Resource Conservation and Development offices host demonstrations or presentations about the pros and cons of natural lump charcoal. Here is a place to find materials or announcements related to those presentations. Drop us a line (VTCharcoal@vt.edu) if you've got questions about finding sources of lump charcoal, cooking with it, or making your own!
