Bristol Wells Charcoal Kilns
Historic Site
Lincoln County, Nevada
October 2022

The Bristol Charcoal Kilns were built in the 1870’s out of native stone for the purpose of making charcoal from juniper or pinion wood. The charcoal was used for smelting ore and operating blacksmith shops. The kilns operated for many years until the early 1890’s and are unique in design, craftsmanship and large size.
