My coal forge

[wireburner]

Here are pics. of my coal forge I finshed Friday . It was all migged by me . It is made from 1/4 inch plate, 3 inch c-channel, and something my cousin found at his work which is 3/4 inch cast iron for the firepot.
The forge `s name is the Redneck Inferno !

Since we are on the topic of forges...

Does anyone have a source for forge coal? A friend of mine wants to dabble in it a little but needs a coal source. I've found the powered stuff that power plants use, but not the chunks. Obviously it would have to be some sort of mail order type operation that dealt in small quantities.
