so hardwood lump is a good way to start the coal?

I live about 20 minutes away from mancos in durango, ill have to pick up that book. Thanks. One thing im having confusion with is fuel types. Im planning on using coal, but I have heard charcoal briquettes are bad. Can I buy the correct coal i need at HomeDepot or Ace Hardware stores?

I just signed up on iforgeiron.com forums. I have the "washtub forge" built and ready to go. I would like to make kitchen cuttlery and im wondering where some good info for beginners is. Im brand new to this stuff.
