Herein lies a delimna. Old free scrap stuff is just that. Old free scrap stuff. I use it all the time but there will be issues from time to time. You will contaminate a fire with powdercoat in a solid fuel forge ( coal, charcoal etc ). Would NEVER burn this off in a gasser. Thomas has a good idea too but under the hood and out the flu works good for me ( inc galvanized ). Be CAREFUL and KNOW that you have a good draft on your hood flu. We are our own police when it comes to safety.
