I finally tried a coal forge instead of propane

Been running a propane forge for about 4 years now, but a guy at the local shop let me fire up his coal forge last Saturday. The heat control was way more responsive and I got a cleaner weld on my first try compared to fumbling with gas adjustments for 20 minutes. Anyone else switch fuel sources and stick with one over the other?

Hell yeah, that clean weld on the first try is a great feeling!

Getting that perfect weld bead right off the bat makes you feel like you finally know what you're doing. It's one of those moments where all the practice and bad welds suddenly pay off. Makes you want to grab another piece of metal and try to do it again.
