November 9, 200817 yr Should have been able to pick more than one. My main shop uses coal, my home shop uses propane and coke.
November 9, 200817 yr I agree with Joseph about multiple fuels. Propane in the shop and coal when demonstrating. Edited November 9, 200817 yr by UnicornForge
November 9, 200817 yr Author 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
November 9, 200817 yr 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
November 10, 200817 yr 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. Frosty
November 10, 200817 yr Author 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!

November 10, 200817 yr frosty a fresh demographic is useful and allows for a beter answer to questions well it helps me atleast
November 10, 200817 yr 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
November 10, 200817 yr 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.
November 10, 200817 yr 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.
November 11, 200817 yr 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!
November 11, 200817 yr 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 ...
November 11, 200817 yr Propane but getting together a Coal forge...Hope the neighbors are ok with it?! ;)
