I've gotten the real charcoal. I wound up with 80 lbs after the MSS we =
held,
and haven't been able to forge much because of the weather, but I seem to =
go
through about 25 lbs in 6-7 hours. I'm still looking for sources nearby, =
but
I should be able to get it for about $5/ 20 lb bag, according to my =
friends
who have used it and are from this area.<snip>


Phlip,

Aren't you in CT?  Seems to me the ONLY manufacturer I've found in the NE =
and central Atlantic states is right there IN CT!  They convert old =
pallets to charcoal.  Unfortunately, I last contacted them about eight =
years back and I don't remeber the name of the place.  If it's important =
to you, I'll see what I can dig out of my (paper) files.
