OBS

[The haulers] piled more of [the wood] in the center of the ring and then stacked the billets in a circle just inside the dust bank. The total was as much as fifty cords, but before it was all in, the collier and his helper had made a good start at "setting the pit".

OBS

The colliers were concerned with the complete setup and operation of the charcoaling pit, and may or may not have had special assistants for stacking the billets, as is the case in the French context.
