Coal Fires
With our coal fires, we differentiate between blacksmith's hearths and field forges.
Field forges are very handy, with a tabletop measuring 600x500 mm and weighing approximately 30 kg, and are easy and uncomplicated to set up, allowing you to forge outdoors without the need for an extractor.
Blacksmith hearths are heavier and larger; we supply hearths with 800 or 1000 mm table widths as standard. Depending on the intended use, we offer fire bowls in various sizes, as well as fans with 230 V or 400 V AC voltage.
All of our coal fires feature a high-quality cast-iron fire bowl, embedded in a sturdy steel tabletop and a sturdy U-shaped steel table frame.
In addition to complete forge stoves, we also offer individual components for building your own fireplace, tailored to your needs.

leather flat belt
for foot operated portable forges or orther applications thickness about 4 mm, length on request Price unit EUR per centimeter. The best way to determine the required length is with a cord that you put tight on the forge. The belt length then results from: Cord length - 7 mm (for lock chamber) = belt length Then round this value down to a whole cm, as the leather strap tends to stretch a little. Leather flat straps are individually cut to size and can therefore not be returned. No matching straps? We can produce a wide variety of dimensions, just ask us and we will make you an offer.

What is a coal forge?
A coal forge typically consists of a tabletop with a built-in fire pot and a blower.
Inside the fire pot is a hearth where coal is burned to heat a workpiece to forging temperature.
There are many variations available, though a few specific types have become the standard over the decades.
Where can I buy a forge?
We offer the largest selection of coal-fired forges.
Choose from various table or fire pot sizes and blowers with different power ratings.
Which forge is right for me?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this. It depends on where, how, and for what purpose you need the forge.
If you forge only occasionally and need portability, a portable field forge is the right choice.
If you are setting up a permanent workshop, we recommend a heavier-duty model.
We would be happy to advise you on your selection so you find the perfect fit.
Is coal still used for forging?
Yes.
Coal and coke are still widely used in blacksmithing.
Are there alternatives to coal?
Yes.
You have a choice between:
- Gas
- Electric furnaces
- Induction
Each type has its own specific advantages and disadvantages.
We are happy to advise you on this as well if you need assistance.
What should I look for when buying?
Blower:
A high-quality blower should be installed. We use industrial-grade blowers in our units that are designed for years of continuous operation.
Tabletop & Frame
These should be sturdily built and not fall apart at the slightest touch. Avoid galvanized tabletops or similar materials at all costs, as zinc fumes are harmful to health. We use high-temperature paint suitable for this application.
Fire bowl
This should be made of a special cast material and have sufficient wall thickness.
Where can I get spare parts for forge fires?
We supply all common spare parts and also stock components from earlier manufacturers.
If you can't find a suitable part in our shop, simply email us and we will check our inventory.
e.g., Ventiluta, Häfliger, and many more.
Difference between portable forges and forge hearths?
Portable forges are highly practical, featuring a 600x500 mm tabletop and weighing approximately 30 kg; they are quick and easy to set up, allowing for outdoor forging without the need for an exhaust system.
Forge hearths are heavier and larger; our standard models come with table widths of 800 mm or 1000 mm. Depending on the intended use, various fire pot sizes and fans (compatible with 230 V or 400 V AC power) are available.
