February 18, 20233 yr How do I determine the depth of a forge for coke and coal? I work with these two coals because the availability here sometimes there is coke other coal
February 18, 20233 yr My bottom blast coal forge works well with coal and coke. The fire pot is 10 cm (4in) deep.

To create a neutral/reducing heat, ~4" of coke under your work and 2" above will work, no matter what kind of forge you have. If you use coking coal, you should only have coke in your firepot, not uncoked coal.

February 21, 20233 yr This may be a language problem, not sure. What do you mean by blast forge? Got a picture?
