Laže
Laže (; ) is a village in the Municipality of Divača in the Littoral region of Slovenia. Name The name ''Laže'' is derived from the plural demonym ''*Laz′ane'' (in turn from the common noun ''laz'' 'clearing in or near a woods overgrown with grass'), referring to people living in a clearing. It is thus related to the Slovak toponym '' Lažany'' and Czech '' Lažany'', as well as to names such as '' Laz'', '' Lazi'', and '' Laze''. History The first settlers came to Laže from Lipica in the 17th century, when the bishops of Trieste sold the territory in Lipica to the Austrian court; the farmers in Lipica were then evicted from their land and provided with substitute land in Laže. Seven families moved to Laže at that time and made their living as charcoal burners. Ponds were formerly maintained in Laže for cutting ice for the brewery in Senožeče. After the brewery closed down, the ponds were allowed to dry up. During the Second World War, Laže was a center of Partisan ...

Charcoal Burner
A charcoal burner is someone whose occupation is to manufacture charcoal. Traditionally this is achieved by carbonising wood in a charcoal pile or kiln. Charcoal burning is one of the oldest human crafts. History and technique Medieval charcoal burners Since the Iron Age, high temperatures have had to be produced for iron smelting, for glassmaking, and for the working of precious metals. Charcoal has been used to do this for centuries and, in order to produce it, entire forests were felled. With the increasing use of stone coal from the 18th century, the charcoal burning industry declined. Even in ancient times, charcoal was manufactured in kilns. Logs were arranged in a conical heap (a charcoal kiln or pile) around posts, a fire shaft was made using brushwood and wood chips and covered with an airtight layer of grass, moss and earth. The pile was ignited inside the firing shaft and, at a temperature of between 300 and 350 °C, the carbonization process began. The proce ...
