Stick a piece of rebar in a good coal bed for half an hour. You'll be able to bend it. If you want to shape it you'll need a hammer and some sweat, but that's not what we're talking about.
"Coal" isn't a "campfire" and burns much hotter than wood. Now, add the other required non-campfire implements. Heck, move the goal posts all the way over to the blacksmith shop.
The winner all depends on whether that beam has to hold up thousands of tons while hot.
A good campfire will soften steel enough to bend by hand.
people literally have to heat it in forges till it's glowing and hit it with heavy hammers to get it to stretch and bend small amounts.

For Pete's sake, you don't even know what campfire coals are? I'm astounded at how cocksure ignorant people can be.
