Episode Details

In the misty Harz mountains of Germany, brothers Immo and Sascha Feldmer are reviving a 1,000-year-old charcoal-burning tradition using ancient earthen kilns. Tending smoldering beech wood for weeks, they craft premium charcoal—unlike mass-produced, low-quality versions—keeping alive a craft once vital to mining. With only a handful of charcoal burners left in Germany, the Feldmers sell their labor-intensive product for home barbecues, hoping to pass the torch to their children and ensure this fading heritage doesn’t vanish.
