There is an awesome article in the Winter 2015 edition of Utah Historical Quarterly (Volume 81, number 1) by Douglas H. Page Jr., Sarah E. Page, Thomas J. Straka, and Natham D. Thomas about Charcoal and its role in Utah mining history.

They list the remaining sites containing charcoal kilns and I’ve been loving visiting and documenting the kilns for years. This page of my website will be to list kiln sites and link to pages for those specific sites.
