Serious question, how are you coping with supply chain issues for forge coal?
I've been waiting over a month for my usual order of forge coal to arrive, and it's really starting to hurt my business. Without it, I can't heat my steel properly for shoeing, and I've had to turn down jobs. The supplier blames shipping delays, but there's no clear timeline. It hit me that we're so reliant on these outside services that we have little say in how things run. I'm thinking about switching to propane, but that means buying new gear. Has anyone found a good local source or another way to get by? This whole mess has me rethinking how I keep my basics in stock.
