There's not a lot of comments about putting out a fire so this was really informative. Thanks.
Your welcome and thank you for watching
Cool-pun intended 😎

It’s amazing how long a fire will burn hidden in the ground or under burned material.
I basically did the same thing for all fires to make sure they were out. Heat goes up so the side material will eventually burn if the center is hot enough but it’s very slow and if done right it cools down too fast to keep combustion going.
This is the only video I’ve ever seen on how to shut down your fire and I watch alot of videos.
Good job.
I discovered this channel because of a recommendation by Big Dog Forge. Love it, as a newbie to the craft lots of helpful tips and tricks. Thank you sir!
Fantastic! Glad to have you here.
Hey Brother, thank you so much for all your good video and dialogue. I watch all your videos and appreciate your Christian attitude. Thanks again...
+James St. John I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the videos and my Christian attitude :-) God bless you and thank you for taking the time to watch
This was great! I'd love to see more on managing a coal forge. I've seen some put water on it around the edges? Lighting one seems a little tricky too. Thanks for all you do!
First time runnin a coal forge 2day. Very informative thank you Roy just what I needed
My husband's forge is outside but he tosses a 12×12 by 1/4
inch plate on top of his fire and cleans everything up the next day.
Thanks for the very informative and fascinating video. As a gas forge user I have never had to shut down a coal forge.
Coal forges are great for certain projects :)
Would you please do a video over coal forges versus gas forges. Maybe go into the making of each kind of forge. I am new to all of this and love your videos, I appreciate your clean language and God Bless you's at the end of videos.
Hi Drew, Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it some thought. Glad you like the channel :)
Thanks for the explanation, I have always seen how to light a fire, but this is the first one about extinguishing the fire. Great info
Lol. Well, It was a subscriber request.
Thanks brother... I appreciate you doing this video!
I guess the only real variable would be in the fuel you are using. Anthricite cools very quickly and goes out.
As always... Thanks for the video..
Thank you very much for that vid god bless you
+Guilty Spark very welcome glad you liked it thank you for watching God bless you
i like to have a beer and sit around till it goes out
Would you please do a video on fire maintenance while forging I'm learning coal I've been using charcoal but finally switched to coal I think I'm doing it rite but having troubles with being able to keep my metal covered during the heating thanks in advance . Oh and I ordered my first rose blanks so keep these videos coming I really appreciate you guys for what you do .....
Hello from Australia. What I appreciate about your videos is that although the name might suggest otherwise you're focusing on Smithing and not bringing religion into it, keep up the good work.
P.S. You're batting above your average!

When I used coal it was anthracite which went out 20 minutes after you shut down air flow through the grate. I never used bituminous coal. Now, I just shut the gas off.
Ok so help me with mine. I just added a hand crank blower. Works fine till I spend a lil longer at the anvil and then it just whoomps like a 12guage. Pucker factor... YES. Do I need a check valve? Or was it a rookie mistake with green coal causing the bangs and whomps?
Is that a wood frame around the outside edge?
Shut down might be a good time to soften hardened steel.
Did anyone see the sunlight shining through the holes in the wall behind him

yes coal will hold heat for a long time, thats why we back the fire on 765 and coal likes to be left in a pile and burns differant then wood
so thats how you shut down coal, and here I thought you had a giant candle snuffer to put it out or shovel it out into a bucket of water.
+manga12 I don't believe a giant candle Snuffer will do it LOL
well I mean a giant dome that goes over the pile to choke it out, like a dome made of thick steel or iron
Would you use the same basic process for charcoal, or something completely different? Or do you have much experience with charcoal?
+Brian Neeley yep the process would be basically the same with a charcoal fire only difference is that charcoal fire air will cool down a lot quicker when there is no air connected to it. When I worked with Tom Latane in Pepin Wisconsin if he needed to leave the shop quickly he would scoop out the fire and drop it into a bucket of water to cool down the Embers that way.
could you just put a steel bucket over the top to smother it i understand the bucket might heat up but wont the smoke kill the fire without pulling it apart
+grayem pepper cold is not work the same as a wood fire for smothering. If you smother a Coal Fire Pit will just stay hot if it receives even the slightest bit of air draft.
Wasent trying to be a jerk in my own head I was cracking up was trying to make light of it
