Excuse the basic question, but could someone give approximate
temperatures of the following?

Red iron
Cherry red iron
orange iron
yellow iron
white iron (welding heat)

a natural gas fire?
a charcoal fire?
a coal fire?

I'm interested in converting either a charcoal or gas grill to a
charcoal or coal forge, any ideas appreciated.  Also, would a propane
gas gill get metal hot enough to work with?
