Found my old coal forge notes from 3 years ago in the garage

I was cleaning out my shop in Springfield last week and found a notebook from when I first switched from propane to coal. My notes from back then are full of questions about fire depth and clinker breaks. Last month, I was helping a new guy at the local guild with his own coal setup, and I realized I could answer all his problems without even thinking. It's funny how stuff that felt so hard then is just second nature now. Anyone else keep old notes that show how far you've come?

lol sean_foster99 is really into those clinker notes, but it's just a notebook in a garage, not some big deal.

Check your notes on clinker breaks though.

I had a buddy who kept a fishing log like that, wrote down every cast and catch for years. One day he realized he'd been writing down the wrong lake the whole time.
