Fact: your steel has hard spots however they got there. To avoid any hardening from air cooling try putting the steel in a bucket of wood ash when you are done working on it so that it cools very slowly. Take the steel up to forging temp and then put in in the center of the largest amount of wood ash you can manage (I use a 55 gallon drum of it). That will anneal it...
