Debate: Did switching from coal to propane in my backyard forge kill the soul of my work or just save my lungs?
I used to swear by coal for that dirty, uneven heat and the feel of real fire, but after a buddy pointed out I was coughing up black stuff every night I switched to propane last winter and now my steel heats way more consistent but I kind of miss that raw chaos of a coal fire - anyone else made the swap and felt torn about it?

Mixed fuel setups work great. Run coal weekends for fun, propane weekdays for your lungs.

Yeah that's a solid approach honestly. I've been meaning to try something like that myself since my allergies act up bad with the coal smoke.
