Forges and Fires in Solid Fuel Forges Posted June 23, 2017 Hi , Obviously new here and to forging . I am using a shop vac for my blower . I tried making tongs today and the rebar barely got red/orange . I was never really able to get embers/coals , I am using wood for fuel . My guess is the shop vac is just too much air ? it burns up the coals before the new wood gets to coals . Any advice would be helpful Thanks
