Charcoal Kiln

Initial article
The Charcoal Kiln converts Wood into Charcoal in Windrose. Charcoal is the required fuel for every metal smelt at the Smelting Furnace, so the Kiln is part of the core smelting pipeline every player builds within the first few hours.
Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
Cost | 25 Wood + 20 Clay |
Placement | Outdoors, within Bonfire range |
Roof | Must be outdoors (no roof) |
Input | Output |
|---|---|
1 Wood | 1 Charcoal (plus Ash byproduct) |
Ash is a secondary output. It is consumed later in the Millstone recipe for Homemade Gunpowder (25 Sulfur + 25 Ash = 5 Gunpowder), so saving Ash has long-term value.
Place the Kiln close to the Smelting Furnace so you can shuttle Charcoal quickly
Keep a Wood chest nearby; low-tier Wood (not Hardwood or Mahogany) is best for charcoal production
Run multiple Kilns in parallel during heavy smelting sessions
Do not place under a roof - the Kiln is outdoors-only
Charcoal - product
Smelting Furnace - primary consumer
Clay - build material
