What is coke exactly?
which type of coke and coal is used in this video?
strange...the blower sounds just like an airplane.
how do you know after your fire is out what coke is still Burnable and what is not after forging I just cut the air air and my fire dies but when I start again the next day can I use the old coke or will it not work and sometimes the old coke is brownish tan color
what's the difference coke and coal?
Nice video, where do you buy your coke from.
Stuff sawing the wood
Hey good video. I used to start my forge that way but I figured out that I could use a propane weed torch for a sure fire way and it seemed faster to me. I know it may not be an option for everyone but thought I'd share it. I posted a vid of my forge and how I light it with the torch but to be honest, I'm kinda new to the whole Youtube thing. So I don't really know if its rude to post links or even mention it on someone else vid. So if it is rude just delete this.
