Charcoal Burning taking a long time

Hi, recently picked up this game and been having alot of fun but while trying to make charcoal through the charcoal burning mechanic I've had a single pit 3x3x2 of firewood and then covered with a ring of dirt  burning for about 3 in game days with no conversion. Really need help with this as finding brown coal isn't good enough to get enough fuel to make any copper tools. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums, @J05HY06!

Yeah, something is wrong there. Is there smoke coming through the top? Do you hear fire? Often it's something silly like one of your stacks of firewood was not a full 32.

I have to ask. Mods?

[EDIT]

Try making a small pit. Dig a 2-deep hole, put in one stack of firewood, put the firepit on top of it, light the fire, and cover it up. That should get you about 5 charcoal, which is enough for a small pour, especially if you preheat the copper with peat or even wood.

I think theyre all full stacks but maybe I missed some somewhere. I don't hear fire and theres no ash so thats all ok I'll try a small one then come back here 😃

[EDIT]

I've made a small hole and filled, lit and covered it. Doesn't seem to have made any charcoal. No mods. Mildly infuriating that I can't progress because my charcoal won't make 🥲

[EDIT 2]

Didn't realise that cover meant to put a block over the firepit too fixed that now it works (uploaded pic of what I had) 😃
