[TheForge] Forge explosion

[Bob Ehrenberger]

Hi guys,

The other day when I was getting started making coke, I stoped cranking to
go get something and suddenly there was a wosh pop in my forge. I guess some
of the volital gasses backed up into the ash dump and then ignited. No harm
done.

I was wondering if any of you have ever had or seen a serious explosion in a
coal forge. At one of the BAM workshops we had a much louder explosion but
it didn't blow the coal out of the fire pot or any thing like that.
