Don't you get a lot more scale than you would with coal?
When you use coal it's sometimes a choice between burning your other pieces
or going slow- but I really like the surface that I get with coal. For a
piece that I want to be really nice, or if it's practical to heat shorter
areas, there's very little cleanup when the forging's done if I pay
attention and finish hammer down into black heat.
I only seem to use gas when I need a long heat.
