Meihawl rawh (Charcoal Making): A Traditional Livelihood in Mizoram

Lamtluang Online News| Mizo style: As winter approaches, many households in Mizoram prepare for the cold season by stockpiling charcoal, essential for warming their homes. In Mizo ṭawng (language), charcoal making is known as "Meihawl Rawh."

In rural areas, villagers rely on charcoal production as a source of income. The process begins in forest areas with young trees, approximately the size of human limbs, which are chopped into 4-5 foot lengths.

The Charcoal Making Process:

1. Preparation: Chopped trees are mixed with dried leaves, grass, or small branches to facilitate burning.
2. Chamber Construction: The mixture is placed in an earthen chamber (dug soil) designed for charcoal production.
3. Ignition: Fire is lit in the front opening, and once burning, the opening is sealed with stones or soil, leaving only chimney holes.
4. Smoking: Smoke escapes through chimneys for 2-3 days, after which the charcoal maker checks for completion.
5. Harvesting: Once smoking ceases, the charcoal is carefully extracted from the earthen chamber.

A Labour-Intensive yet Vital Tradition:

Meihawl Rawh is a labour-intensive process requiring patience and skill. However, it provides essential income for many villagers and ensures a steady supply of charcoal for warmth and other purposes.
