Steel bars (559) are frequently traded due to its use in smithing steel equipment. The best furnace for F2P players to smelt steel is at the furnace in Edgeville as it is the closest furnace to a bank in F2P. Players can smelt and bank up to 775 or more steel bars per hour.
Players that have completed Dwarf Cannon may consider carrying an ammo mould (taking 9 iron and 18 coal) to then smith 36 steel cannonballs (36x272) with the 9 steel bars (9x559) they've just made for an increase in XP and profit per hour when prices are advantageous.
Members may consider smelting steel bars at the Blast Furnace minigame in Keldagrim, as bars are not only smelted faster but also require only 1 coal per bar instead of the usual 2 coals, greatly increasing profits.
