September 22, 200916 yr I can not find a coal supplyer to save my life near by. if anyone can tell me a CHEEP substitute to coal or a place to buy coal near Saint Cloud MN that would be fantastic thank you Grant:confused:
September 22, 200916 yr Hey Grant. Check out the forum for posts on making charcoal. Also, try contacting Jeremy K. He uses coal and probably knows of a supplier near enough for you to go pick some up. Good luck, and keep us posted on what you come up with.
September 22, 200916 yr Do a search on corn forges. Interesting to have a forge that smells like popcorn Works well but I have a ready supply of coal so the corn is not an option for me.

September 23, 200916 yr Author i will hopefully try corn tomorw its easy to get for me cause i live on an elk ranch xP
September 23, 200916 yr Author corn is a much better alernitive to the wood i was using earlyer. the corn gets very hot very quickly. it does take a fair ammount of corn to smith for a long time and it is fairly light weight so i had to keep it together. other than that i would reccomend corn if coal is not availible
