  1. 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!
  2. 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!
  3. 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!
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. Done! I just finished. Yeah the stuff i find here will be applied atleast haha
  7. Thank you so much! And thanks to all who replied, i definitly learned something more valuable than whats taught in schools. Thanks again!
  8. As i said before, its 8x10" and its 4 inches deep. Its also lined with fire brick.
  9. 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).
  10. Got it thanks, this definitly help when i went out to the anvil just now, less burns on my arms now thanks
  11. So if you dont mind me asking, can you go more in depth on this concept of "pushing it in"?
  12. 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
