Yea I've emailed him and I have it all sorted out now! Didn't need to be as detailed or as technical as I was making it lol

Hi I'm new to blacksmithing and starting college this September to study it. As my first assignment though I've been asked to discuss the safe and efficient use of solid fuel forges particularly coal, something else the teacher referred to as "range buster" coal, and coke. He also wanted info on the sand bed and stuff but I'm really struggling to find any information on why things are being used and also the safe use surrounding it. Asking for help from anyone possible! Many thanks in advance.
