Blacksmithing and Heating Coal 25lbs

Great for camping. Burns clean in the tent heater/stove, and it lasts through the night, but not for cooking

This coal is hard to light and keep lit but I have discovered a way to keep it lit easily. Just put kindling on it and then wood and light it. The wood gets the coal to burn but getting the coal to smelting heat requires bellows and sometimes and blower machine to help you but in a small stove to heat your room, a bellow will do. Note: burning coal in small amounts like in your stove or forge is safe and no one cares but in massive amounts like in a power plant, too much and bad for the environment. Just have proper ventilation or you will have serious problems.

Worked great had no problems, used for forging in coal forge got ten times hotter than charcoal great product would buy again

I agree with most of the reviews. Very fast shipping, full box of coal. Lots of little pieces. Very difficult to get lit, and produces a substantial amount of smoke. All that said, the smaller pieces make it easier to light. Once lit, I get a good 6 to 8 hour burn in my little cubic mini stove. Which was my goal. I live at 10,000 feet in the Colorado mountains, and we often lose power leaving my only heat source as my little cubic mini. If I’m just burning wood, I have to feed it every half hour. This allows for a full night sleep! Overall, a 7.5 out of 10. I will be purchasing more coal, however, from a different outlet as this Coal is priced well above the average!

Great coal, burns hot, cokes nicely, fast shipping too! You can't go wrong!

This was my first attempt at blacksmithing, but this worked pretty good. It took forever to get lit, but once it was going it heated up the metal just fine.

Just recently got into smithing, currently I use a modified grill for my forge and I have been able to form, normalize and heat treat five knives and have use about 15 lbs of this coal. Definitely get plenty hot, melted off a few tips by accident. Last much longer than wood charcoal. It does smoke up a bit at first, my forge is uot doors so it is barely noticeable. You will have to pick out the glass like deposits it makes every do often. Below are a couple of my projects

Box could use more packing tape. It arrived broken open and 3+ lbs had fallen out so, $6+ of coal missing. Product looks top notch, packaging was poor. IOW… Premium priced yet subpar packaging I will try Tractor supply next time I need coal.
