When welding with a coal forge, you are watching for the color of the flame to change as well as the metal color equallying the surounding fire and slight sparking. With a gas forge, you are wanting to look more for the movement of the flux. The metal doesn't need to be a high yellow to white, but when you see the flux seem to have fluid motion you will be able to weld.
