Dale M. Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 In past I used charcoal (bricketts) to bring up heat on some large steel for bending when I did not have forge or torches.... So maybe, depending on what you are trying to do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyler Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 It depends what your gonna use it for. It will work good for small metal but it might not work so good for big or heavy metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnailForge Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 My simple charcoal forge gets hot enough to burn a thick bar of O1 like fireworks. See the other thread in this forum where I posted my charcoal fire. You want to use charcoal, not brickets. Brickets will burn hot until their fuel is spent. Then they will crumble to clay dust and smother your fire. But you have to line the BBQ with clay or something else. Otherwise a lot of heat will escape. And of course you risk burning a hole through the sides of the BBQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
