Westerners, especially, on social media spout all sorts of views on how a sustainable world might work. In many cases they know nothing of how a large part of humanity lives. Only through such photography can we be educated before we pontificate on our views and solutions.
True Paul. How people make living and doing various trades is an eye opener. Hopefully, we will be more inclusive in our views too. Thank you as always for your views.
The last time I saw this kind of charcoal iron was in India. I grew using this charcoal cast iron. Not only we used it for clothes, we used it to grill cheese sandwiches and brown sugar for the traditional hamon served on Christmas season.

Keeping the charcoal hot for a very long period needs lots of focus, I guess. Thanks for your comments.
