To forge iron, the primary fuel used is coke, which is a porous, carbon-rich material derived from coal. Coke provides the high temperatures necessary for smelting iron ore in a blast furnace, facilitating the reduction of iron oxides to produce molten iron. Additionally, charcoal can also be used as an alternative fuel in traditional blacksmithing processes.
