Most buy charcoal before it has been ground up and made into briquettes or
make there own.
One of the guild of metalsmith members from Minnesota made an enormous pile
from soft wood charcoal one batch at a time I believe in a 30 gal barrel.  I
have a copy of the directions somewhere but not sure where at the moment
