Are you refering to the picture of my forge? If so, i did give specs a couple time throughout the discussion. If not sorry! Right, i switched from nut coal to a slightly smaller size that ranges from an inch to an inch and a half in size. But thanks!
-
Ok thank you so much, this helped a lot and although its sleeting at the current time, ill give this a spin tomorrow! Thanks!!! Right, i pay $22 for 240 pounds roughly. It lasts a bunch longer and burns hot! Thanks for the idea, i truly appreciate it!
-
Hey thanks for the suggestion, but im mainly concerned about cost. Unless they sell is super cheap i dont think i will convert to the soft stuff, but thanks for letting me know!
-
Haha i meant that the coal bursts and crackles shards into the air Thanks again for a very functional explanation if any more questions arise ill be sure to ask you do i just kinda shove my piece under the bed of coals piled ontop of the fire pot? I usually push the piece down from the top of the fire as a whole. Thanks
-
So should i be pushing the coal down. Towards the air inlet or just to to middle of the pile of burning coal? I found i had the coal fly apart when i tried pushing it near the middle of the pile.
-
Done! I just finished. Yeah the stuff i find here will be applied atleast haha
-
Thank you so much! And thanks to all who replied, i definitly learned something more valuable than whats taught in schools. Thanks again!
-
Thanks ill keep this in mind

Sure thing, i have a bottom blast forge that is lined with fire brick that has an 8"x10" top tapering to the air inlet, 4 inches deep and all attached to a table with castors (just a note: i dont know how to post pictures on here yet so a description is the only thing i can give at the moment).
-
Yep, thanks i truly appreciate it!
-
Got it thanks, this definitly help when i went out to the anvil just now, less burns on my arms now thanks
-
So if you dont mind me asking, can you go more in depth on this concept of "pushing it in"?

Hey guys, I have been using anthricite coal to heat stock and i really like it! Except for the fact that when i add new coal, the stuff pops and crackles and throws bits everywhere, and leaves a bit of a mess. Is there any way to avoid this from happening? I can manage the clinkers and avoid hollow fires, But does anyone know how to "safely" add new anthricite to stop or reduce the popping?? Thanks for any input! Jonah Lee
