james m Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Im going to try and make a simple bushcraft forge this weekend using an old wok, a cooking pot and a foot pump. Would i be able to use BBQ charcoal to get enough heat? Im only going to be useing it for small scale stuff. Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fciron Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I'm not sure what you're planning to do with the kitchen stuff,but I think you might need more air than you get from the foot pump. Get 'hardwood lump' charcoal, not briquettes. That works great, it is the original metalsmithing fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
