Cool. I see it was posted to youtube in 2014 but I had the feeling that it was actually quite old.

Even tells how/where Liquid Smoke comes from.

I would love to experiment with that liquid smoke!

Anyone besides me ever seen these? Do you know where they are?

Looks a lot like Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site in Pennsylvania. But maybe larger.

Possibly Charcoal-Kilns-06.jpg? Just kidding. I've never seen them before.

Interesting video.
There are only two liquid smokes I know of. Hickory and mesquite. That is how Traeger flavours their base wood ( oak or alder ) pellets .
Charcoal kilns.

I'll give you a hint... if you wanted to go to the highest point within 20 miles of the lowest point in North America, you'd drive right past these kilns. At least that's how I stumbled across them...

And for the record... I didn't quite make it to the peak near there... I drove as far as I could, got up to about 8000 feet, got out of the car and started hiking along a trail... about 200 feet of walking up the trail and I realized... I'm just not cut out for hiking at 8000 feet.... and this was when i was about 30 years old or so... at 56, I probably wouldn't make it out of the parking lot.

Wow! Great puzzle. I'm on it.

Dang! I have to go to the dentist.

No respirators...Interesting, definitely not made in the US.

Inyo County, CA near Death Valley. Website: https://www.nps.gov/deva/learn/historyculture/charcoalkilns.htm
A very interesting place... ( Death Valley and surrounding area ). Prior to that trip there, I had never had any idea of how charcoal was made... It still didn't really make sense to me why they would build the kilns in that particular location, it seemed extremely remote, didn't seem like there were that many trees around to use to make into charcoal... ( but then I'm born and raised in Michigan, where trees are everywhere ).
Of course on that same trip, in like 5 days I drove from Las Vegas, to Death Valley, down to Joshua Tree... , across miles and miles of old Route 66, through places like Oatman and Kingman... kind of amazing how much of the old road is still there... to the Grand Canyon, then north to Bryce Canyon, over to Zion NP, and on back into Las Vegas ( coming into that city at night time on a lonely desert Hwy is quite a site to see ). So, the charcoal kilns were just one of many interesting sites I saw on that 1400 mile trip around the Las Vegas strip... Much of it was flying by at 70 and sometimes 80 MPH though. I probably wouldn't be very well suited for such a long and fast paced sight seeing trip these days, but I'm extremely glad I got to see that area when I did. Very cool stuff around the whole area out there.

Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtIr0FI4vbo) is a 10-minute video on how the Colonials made it. This National Park, Hopewell Furnace, in Pennsylvania, is the best historic site I've seen.

what a great video! I hesitated on the 10 minute investment, but that was incredibly relaxing and educational!

Quite a thread filled with learning where things come from, charcoal, liquid smoke, and with the last video we discover where they came up with the Jenga game.

Paul, That was excellent. I much enjoyed the video.

Not very appealing source of "smoke" liquid. Think I'll pass.
