If this was your forge what fuel would you use?

It turns out the pic I posted of the rusty fisher isnt the actual one im looking to buy. After stopping by the sellers house today i really wish i took pics of it. I was there to buy a forge. The anvil i was looking at today has a horn in good shape, not deformed on the end. Plus its date is stamped 1910 and 250. I will post pics asap. Pics of items I picked up at estate sale. -

After i posted this, i found an farm estate sale on CL with an anvil, swage block, metal work table with vise and a band saw. I connected my trailer and drove 2.5h to his barn. i didnt know about the band saw until i arrived. The anvil is a Hay-Buddon 104 serial number 12407 (see pic). Thats all the pics i have tonight. tomorrow i will post more of the anvil, block, vise and band saw. All for $300. He through in 3 tongs, 3 hammers, 3 hammer heads(need handle) and a bunch of stock metal. -
Hello, my name is Jared. I am collecting equipment to start blacksmith. I have a few anvils im looking at within an hour drive from my house and i would appreciate any advise on what anvil you would choose. Pics 1-4 are of a Hay-Buddon made in Brooklin NY. The owner says he thinks its dated from the late 1890s. He cant find a serial number. He is asking $800. The 5th pic is of a fisher stamped 1910 and 25( i think), it weighs 250lbs. The owner painted it all black except for the top. He is asking $700. It comes with the stand. Pics 6and 7 are of a Peter Wright 150lb. I dont have anymore info on it. It comes with the base. He is asking $700 I havent done any rebound testing, I dont have a ball bearing.
