Default coal or propane?

I want to build myself a new forge. The one I currently have is much too small for my intened use (sword making). So my big question is which is better? Coal or propane. Also can a propane forge get hot enough to forge weld or is it hard to get those kinds of temprature? I am planning on going with propane because it is more readily avaliable to me then coal, and from what ive found good coal is pretty expensive.
Thank you all for your help.
