| red anthracite coal
Paul, you asked if red anthracite is good for smithing. It works just fine. I am assuming the red anthracite is the same as what we call red ash anthracite here in Pa. I was told by a coal dealer that the red ash is the deep mined coal as compared to white ash anthracite which is strip mined. There is also a pink ash. I would assume that is located between the white ash and red ash veins. I have used all three types with satisfactory results. I have found the red ash to be my favorite because it gives less ash than the other two types. The only thing with anthracite, don't look for coke. It goes right from burning coal into ash. The nice thing, no smoke and no smell. Right now I am using pink ash and with the air cut back on my electric blower I am having very little clinker problems. However, when I put my larger blower on the forge to do heavy stock, it doesn't matter what coal I use, I get some dandy clinkers.
