About that forge yer boys are building: gas or coal?

I'd like to have a small forge myself, but I want gas, as forge coal is near on impossible to find around here, and gas is just all around more convenient.

If it's gas, I'd like to hear more about it when ya have time.

Thanks,
Paul

You don't get anywhere near the heat from gas as you will coal, and coal is much cheaper also. Also, pretty tough to weld in a gas forge, in a coal forge you can do true welding. Plus, building a gas forge would be a lot more complicated.

For info on building a forge Anvilfire has some very good information.

Its coal fired or will be when done. As far as finding coal its not all that hard to find if you look in the right places. In my area there isn't much of it around but when I stated to build this thing I found out that there is 3 or 4 places around that sells it, but if I hadn't started to build this I would have never known about them. Some one in your area will have coal you just need to look in the right places. Ask around and someone will know of a guy doing forge work and he will have a place to get it. If you have any Amish people around one of them will own a forge also

I googled that once or maybe the library thing and as I recall if you have a turkey fryer-smoker and a large truck brake drum you are half way there.
