Ramsberg Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Just wondering. If you said other, please elaborate. Caleb Ramsby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilwarblacksmith Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Should have been able to pick more than one. My main shop uses coal, my home shop uses propane and coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Einhorn Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) I agree with Joseph about multiple fuels. Propane in the shop and coal when demonstrating. Edited November 9, 2008 by UnicornForge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalliferous Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Maybe we should also have a "how many fuels do you use" poll as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkle spike Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Coal, stinky anthracite coal. FREE stinky anthracite coal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsberg Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Sorry guys, you are right I should have had multiple choice on it. Do any of you know how to modify the poll specifications? Caleb Ramsby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip in china Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Coal, Coke, Charcoal, Wood and electricity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyshackleford Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'd love for someone to elaborate on their liquid fuel setup (if anyone on here uses one) I've seen lionel's design, and am keenly interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Caleb buddy, these polls have been done and the results can be found under the "poll results" catagory. Welcome aboard. If you'll go to the top of the page, click on "User CP" and edit your profile to show your location we'll have an idea where you are. you may discover playmates in your area.

Ramsberg Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Frosty, I was sure that they had, just looked them up and found one from 2005 and another from 2007. It will be interesting to see if the fuels used has changed, considering the wildly fluctuating cost variences between(in order of derangement) solid, liquid and gas fuels. I must say that I am VERY impressed with how far this web site has gone. I remember when it was used mainly as a picture how to reserve for anvilfire. . . more or less, I remember at the time being rather confused as to what affiliation it had to whom or what. Got out of the blacksmithing thang for a few years to concentrate on steam vehicle design(motorcycle, car, boat etc., that's another story all together). To see it thriving as it is now is GREAT!

Sabre Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 i use coal and charcoal..i would like to make a gas forge soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I guess that's fair enough. Propane is my primary fuel with coal as an occasional fuel at home. In the field I use charcoal from the camp fire in a forge as advanced as necessary to do what I want or need to. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dwyer Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I selected coke, but wanted to also pick propane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofthesmith Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 been a long time since ive had a chance to get online, i use coal when working at my uncles and propane at home...neighbors didnt care much for the smoke, something about the environment.

Glenn Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I must say that I am VERY impressed with how far this web site has gone. I remember when it was used mainly as a picture how to reserve for anvilfire. I was confused as to what affiliation it had to whom or what. To see it thriving as it is now is GREAT! The confusion come from IForgeIron being willing to support other sites and the blacksmithing community. When other sites have gone off line or had problems, we have offered the IForgeIron site and services for the other sites to use until they recover. IForgeIron has never been a part of any other site. We are good citizens of the blacksmithing community, and offer to help when we can.

BeaverDamForge Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm the 'other' guy. My gasifier burns wood, corn, acorns, newspaper, and a few things I haven't tried yet, I'm sure. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dablacksmith Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 i end up useing a few different fuels .. main use is coke (less smoke) coal charcoal propane, natural gas at the puyallup fair , and ive been looking at the induction forges... the only problem i see with them is they could work you into the ground!! 30 seconds to yellow heat for a 1/2 in bar ! ive even used wood (dosnt really work till its charcoal) when i was running low on coke ...
