Probably the most difficult thing for me to understand was the clinker thing ...the coal I use doesn't produce any clinkers unless I use flux in forge welding. After I finish a session of forging in the coal forge, I clean it out to make sure the fire is out, but there is never anything to take out such as clinkers. So, my conclusion is, I must be doing something different or I'm using some really good coal. Does everyone else always get clinkers in coal or what??
