Crushing and Grading Charcoal
Lump charcoal comes in pieces from fingertip to fist size. A forge or a smelting furnace burns evenly only on pieces of one size, so the lumps are broken in a sack and sieved into grades. Bloomery smelters break it to about 2.5 cm and sift the fines out through a 1 cm (3/8 inch) mesh; the fines are kept for the furnace base, for insulation or for the garden.
Weigh each grade: the split tells you how much of a sack is usable at your size.

Decide the largest and smallest piece you want. For a bloomery: no larger than 2.5 cm and nothing smaller than 1 cm. A forge fire takes the same range or a little smaller.

Break it in the sack
Break it in the sack
Put the charcoal in a burlap sack, fold the top over, lay it on hard ground and strike it with the wooden mallet. Turn the sack and feel the size through the cloth; stop while most pieces are still larger than you want, or it all turns to dust.

Sieve the lot through the coarse screen: what stays on it goes back in the sack. Sieve what passed through the 1 cm screen: what stays on top is your crushed charcoal, what falls through is fines.
