If you make the base of your iron into a container you can put glowing coals inside it and keep it hot a bit longer. This is a charcoal iron, and the one being used in India, where it’s not unusual to have your ironing done by a “press wallah” at a stall with a brazier nearby. Notice the hinged lid and the air holes to allow the charcoal to keep smoldering. These are sometimes called ironing boxes, or charcoal box irons, and may come with their own stand. It was easier to keep the ironing surface spotlessly clean, away from the fuel, than with flat irons or charcoal irons. Charcoal Iron Box is used in India by dhobi at dhobi ghat and shops that iron customers' clothes for a charge. The use of charcoal enables the ‘Iron Man – Dhobi’ (as they are referred to locally) not to rely on electricity which is not guaranteed during business hours due to frequent ‘power cuts’. This iron is also the only option for mobile units that provide door-to-door cloth ironing/laundry service.
Yes, the wooden grip is made up of premium quality wood which is well crafted to provide good comfort and grip to your hand and it is perfectly attached to the iron box so it can hold all the weight.
