Pine Tar From a Turf-Covered Pit Kiln: Fir Roots Smouldered Over a Pan and Spout (Tomlinson, 1854)
The old northern way of making tar, from Dr. Clarke's account in Tomlinson's Cyclopaedia of Useful Arts (1854): fir roots and resinous billets stacked in a cone in a pit dug into a bank, covered with beaten turf and smouldered without flame, so the tar runs down into a cast-iron pan and out through a spout into barrels, leaving the wood as charcoal.

"The process by which the tar is obtained, is very simple."

Gather the wood
Gather the wood
Use fir (pine) roots, rotten stubs and scorched trunks, with logs and billets of the same; roots from marshy ground are richest. (Laing: stunted trees are peeled a fathom or two up the stem, by degrees, and felled 5 or 6 years later, rich in tar.)

Smoulder and collect
Smoulder and collect
Kindle the stack and let it burn slowly without flame, as in charcoal making. The tar exudes, runs into the pan and out of the spout: set barrels under it and bung them as they fill. The wood that remains is charcoal.

History and honest limits
From Charles Tomlinson (ed.), **Cyclopaedia of Useful Arts** (1854), vol. II, "Turpentine", quoting Dr. Clarke and Mr. Laing (checked on the archive.org scan cyclopdiaofuse02tomlrich, pp. 885-886). He gives no pit sizes. The tools and diagram are ours.
