I have plenty of metallurgical coke from the Hunedoara Steel Complex, Romania. The coke was made from anthracite coal. Metallurgical Coke is harder to light.
I use a hand crank blower for my forge, so unless I have a worker with me to just crank the blower, I’m gonna get tired out keeping it lit. So, I use lump charcoal with mine to help keep it going.

I have 2 of them after I saw mechanics use them with Brake Kleen for spraying greasy or oily areas/parts. They are extremely reliable, you can get different nozzles from them, and entire rebuild kits if you wear them out. Best money I ever spent.
Just got a bag of this at TSC myself. I didn't realize that it would get nearly white-hot from a hairdryer blower on high. It was almost as bright as the sun at the end of the tuyere. Plus, I was instantly pulled back to kindergarten 1989, our school was heated with anthracite. I love the smell of burning this stuff, and the sound is relaxing.
For building a fire indoors, I save my used wax melts by soaking them up from the warmer with cotton balls then store the cooled waxy cotton balls for later. They burn forever.
I bought 2 Peter Write anvils, one like this, and a 120 pound one. They make an acid that will raise the stamped letters, they use it on guns with the SN# ground away.
