Subject: gas vs. coal

I'm setting up shop. I need a forge-gas or coal?. A gas forge would be
convenient for me but I haven't heard good things about them for forge welding,
limitation of stock size, etc. Any recommendations?

Dear Valerie,

I started with a coal forge, and made fun of my friend when he got a
gas forge. Then I noticed how much more work I got done whenever I
used his gas forge. I now have both and use the gas forge the most. I
vote with David Hufford; if I could only have one, I'd pick a gas
forge. Having both is ideal.
