🔥 Charcoal Kiln

The Charcoal Kiln is a piece of Refining Equipment in Stardew Valley. It allows the player to convert Wood into Coal, an essential resource used in many crafting recipes and for fueling furnaces.

The kiln is especially useful in the early and mid-game when coal is in short supply. It provides a renewable alternative to mining for coal.

⚙️ Usage

• Place 10 Wood into the kiln to receive 1 Coal.
• Takes approximately 30 minutes in-game time to process.
• Functions both indoors and outdoors.
• Provides a sustainable source of coal without heavy reliance on mining.

📦 Acquisition

• Received via mail from Robin after the player has collected 30 Wood.
• Can also be crafted with 20 Wood, 2 Copper Bars, and 1 Gold Bar.

💡 Tips & Strategies

• Best used if you have a surplus of wood from chopping trees or tree farms.
• Helps balance early-game shortages of coal needed for Furnaces and other crafting recipes.
• Pair with Tree Fertilizer for a steady wood → coal pipeline.
