Tried a new coal mix and my forge went from orange to almost white hot
I was messing around with my old forge last week, blending some bituminous coal from Kentucky with a bit of anthracite I had left over. I figured it would just burn a little cleaner. Instead, after about 20 minutes, the fire hit a heat I've rarely seen outside of a professional shop. It was so bright I had to grab my darkest shade 5 lenses. The piece I was working, a simple leaf keychain, practically melted under the hammer. Learned that small changes in fuel can have a huge, wild effect. Anyone else have a forge recipe that went way different than you planned?

That's how it goes with most things, the tiny tweaks that change everything.
