Read some years ago where the smith would take a block of wood and place it in the middle of the fire and pull the green coal around and over it to create a oven for forge welding.
If you're talking about hardwood charcoal and not bricketes, it's an excellent source of fuel. Its very clean and gives a very hot fire. The problem is that it you need a lot of it because it burns away so quickly. Also it can be more of a fire hazard if you are working inside without a really good hood system.
Thanks again. I really appreciate when you show how to manage the fire.
Very nice, Denis.
Thanks for the welding tips, Glad you added that.

Another excellent video. I'm wondering if I'll be able to get stuff that hot using charcoal.... struggling to find coal locally
