coal hearth

coal forge /

Definition

The conventional blacksmiths hearth is a large open hearth (fireplace) complete with a hood and some form of air supply to the fire through a nozzle known as a tuyere. Historically the air supply was provided by hand held bellows, nowadays an electric fan is used. The fuel used for the forge is either coal or coke, idealy with a high bitumen content.

La forge du maréchal-ferrant est un feu ouvert équipé d'une tuyère qui fonctionne grâce à un courant d'air provoqué par un soufflet ou un ventilateur électrique afin d'alimenter le feu en oxygène. On utilise comme combustible du charbon, en particulier s'il est riche en carbone, par exemple: la houille, le charbon de bois ou la houille grasse.
