In person I mean.

*Sigh. Not charcoal. Real coal.

    Fun fact for those who don’t know. You can forge metal with a wood fire if you have forced air.

    There are also ways to build a clay oven so that it has a natural updraft, giving it that forced air. It’s actually how people used to fire pottery.

    Other than that, you can also use charcoal, which burns hotter with forced air.

    Also, a hairdryer puts out enough air to forge with *unless you’re running a ribbon burner set-up. But if you are, you likely know that already.
