[TheForge] Crowdsourcing Question

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Most blacksmiths like to play with fire. Hence the attraction to propane.
In a crowded urban context with safety and permitting concerns;
as Bruce and others have said, charcoal, the oldest and most traditional smithing fuel,
addresses those concerns nicely. A charcoal forge is cheap, safe , and easy to build.
The trick is to get old time charcoal, preferably hardwood charcoal.
Commercial restaurant supplies ( like Smart and Final) and serious BBQ suppliers carry it.

If you use it out doors the propane forge is about as dangerous as the propane barbecue.
