Warning about that new 'fast' coal from the place on 4th Street

Burned through a whole 50 pound bag in three days making a gate, it was way too hot and ruined the temper on my best hammer, has anyone else had this problem?

Ngl, that sounds like they're blending in some coke or anthracite without saying. It burns way hotter and faster than good blacksmithing coal. My buddy had the same thing happen with a leaf spring, it got way too fluid and just fell apart. You might want to stick a magnet in the next bag, if it pulls out a bunch of metallic dust that's your answer. Ruined a good hammer over bad fuel is a real shame.

So the magnet trick actually works? How much dust are we talking about?
