[TheForge] Charcoal

[Brian Reedy]

Thanks for all the positive feedback regarding the discussion of coal, charcoal or propane.  Because of all the suggestions from members I'm switching to charcoal for the following reasons:  accessibility to quality fuel, lack of noxious smoke, and one comment from an ABANA member made the most impact by far...not having to "constantly be dicking with the fire".  It seems that charcoal has nearly every property that coal lacks.  Cleaner burning, readily available, less problems with forge welding......granted there's poppers and flyers from the fire occasionally.  Now, someone talk me out of using charcoal and convince me to use something else.  Again, thanks for the feedback.  It's great to hear from blacksmiths in residential areas!!!!
