 Hehe
When I had my first coal forge, an old cast iron Hibachi grill, with a shop vac on reverse for a blower, I would get 6 foot flames when I had it going good and would dump on a big handful (YES a handful) of green coal. My neighbors didn't have a problem, even though the coal was kinda crappy and would smoke LIKE, ALOT! But then again, they put up this huge 6 foot tall solid fence withing a week of living next door. I don't live in suburbia, nor a city, but the neaighbors are arrowshot, firework shot, throwing knife shot, and bb gun shot distance away, but not right on top of me, so sound and stuff will carry, but it isn't bad at all. I worked until 2:00 at night one time with no problem. But now my shop is in a commercial location anyway, so no problem at all, I hope. Plus the Delaware is literally walking distance away, so after a hot day working in the forge, bam, I can go for a nice swim.
