[TheForge] Blacksmithing Demo, Projects?

[Grover Richardson]

One last thing.  If you intend on doing this a bunch, you might consider
charcoal (not the food cooking kind, it sucks).  Nearby vendors don't relish
the idea of sulfur invading their textiles<G>.

I use propane.  Though seriously not period (Ask me about the Devil's eye
and I have a tale for you that may pass<G>), most places are grateful enough
to have a blacksmith demonstrate that they don't mind.  Also propane is an
enclosed fire and the fire people are happier.

Enjoy.

Thank you very much for the suggestions, sounds like proven techniques,
learned with sweat and coal dust.
