I have a note out to the fire department to make sure I can burn coal, but I'm considering using hardwood charcoal. I've heard it is more expensive, but burns cleaner.

The only hardwood charcoal I've seen around is this cowboy brand stuff, at various outdoor centers and supermarkets. Is that any good, or am I looking for something more specific, and if so, where can I get it?

Thanks,

Had too much fun at Prospect hill forge. I've been scouring craigslist and ebay, and a deal came up.






forge, blower, hood, tons, hammers, and a ton of insulated ducting.

Just need an anvil, some coal, and time to set it all up.
