If you're using charcoal, try to stack it instead of throwing into the forge pit.  Similar to straw for kilns.

 

Come to think of it, try that even if you're using coal.

Are you using Q to drop the pieces in individually or trying to drop it as a stack of 8?

I hope you read the Wiki as it does change everything.

 

 

If you are using coal, drop (Default: Q) the 8 pieces in the 1x1 hole (drop them individually. It will not work in a stack),

As far as coding goes, it changes everything. If I asked you to put 8 bananas in a blender, would you put them in one at a time or would you try to cram a bunch of 8 in at the same time? Those are 2 different scenarios just as 8 individual pieces of coal are different than one larger piece of coal. The game sees them as different items and the mod was not coded to accept both as an option.

 

These questions are part of the troubleshooting process. In order to narrow down the issue, you need to be very specific about the steps you tried. If you are trying something known to not work, then there may be no issue at all. Instead of getting defensive at every person trying to help you, you might want to answer the questions in detail so the devs have an easier time figuring it out.

Having the same issue, myself. Charcoal should presumably do the trick. But the coal that I've gathered in b78.3 is not working, even when I click Q eight times while using 4-5 firestarters aimed at the bottom block. So, this is not an issue isolated to the OP. I might try getting some more coal to see if this is an issue with coal gathered in b78.3. Anywho, I'm stuck as well. I might simply end up making some charcoal and then proceed to generate the forge and then use the coal (Since they're interchangeable)

Bioxx disabled making the forge from coal items when he implemented the 1 block tall pit kiln. I've re-enabled it for 78.7, but it will be done by using a vanilla coal block, instead of the individual items.

 

The reason for this change was to cut down on using the firestart/flint and steel on items on the ground, since it causes a bit of lag.
