When the fire is out, you get some pieces of charcoal, When you have them collected, you blow off the ashes. When the ashes are all gone, you get a stone for it. Crush the charcoal itself or crush clay, this stone is a govihoo, it has a hole. After that you put it into a coconut shell, then you pour a bit of coconut oil on it and stir the ashes and the oil.
