More model informationThe construction of the kilns dates back to the early 1880s, a time of great change and dynamic growth in the Roaring Fork, Fryingpan, and neighboring river valleys.
The kilns stand approximately 25 feet tall and 25 feet in diameter. They are constructed of unfired brick and native stone. They appear to have been constructed with standard mortar and were treated with an outside coating for protection from the elements.
The kilns have upper and lower openings typical for this type of processing (charcoal smelting). It is thought that the two openings were used for ventilation and for the addition of fuel and the removal of the charcoal produced.
