Have you ever wondered where and how BBQ wood charcoal in TRNC is produced?

No? Don't read on.

Yes? Then you're in for a very interesting trip to the west of Northern Cyprus. You'll find there lonely men working with wood to provide our BBQ's with charcoal. It looks like their way of working hasn't changed for centuries!



If you want a map to the area, email me at hddoeleman@gmail.com and you receive a copy in your inbox (your email address will be deleted after I have replied to you).

RE msg 2, Serkan: Thanks for the additional information. I only found the charcoal workers in one place and found it fascinating. Do they work the same way in Turkey or is this typical Cypriot (Turk), maybe from Ottoman times?



P.S. I've just sent a map to 11 people who asked for it.

My first cousin in Akdeniz has been doing that for years.
