Need Coal? Post it here for Individuals

besides lebanon coal? who charges $9.50/bag picked up!!!!

I need a dozen bags rice coal in southern Maine, then next month 4-5 tons bagged

Catdog,

I am getting mine from Aubuchon and there must be one close o you. I will say I have had some difficulty in them actually getting it in though. They charge 6.29 for a 40# bag and you have to buy 60 bags which is a pallet. They say mine will be in around the end of this month, beginning of November. For now I have been getting it from Paris Union in Turner or Portland, but some of the other stores also get it.

Anyone know good dealers in the Binghamton / Norwich area? I've been driving to Holenbecks Feed & Coal near Owego, but live in the Greene area and work in Binghamton. Would love something a bit closer to home or work.

I will say -- Holenbecks has been great. I bought my Leisure Line from them.

Anyone know where I can buy coal in the Seattle/Portland area?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum woodswalker, it should be noted most of the people here are located in the northeast part of the country as anthracite is only mined in Pennsylvania. The shipping costs even to states nearby make the cost rise and it becomes unfeasible. Shipping to Washington state would be unrealistic. Try the bituminous forum as that type of coal is plentiful out that way but has a lot of issues for residential use.

Can't come up with any dealers Googleing it.

I am in East Tennessee and looking for a source to buy Anthracite coal as the primary source of heat in our house this winter. I'm willing to drive up to Pennsylvania to get it if necessary (We used to do that about ten years ago when we lived in Virginia), but if anyone has any advice or input on local sources, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I am in york county PA and looking for a coal supplier. I travel a good bit in a 3/4 ton pickup and am not oppsed to picking up coal from a breaker if it will save me some money. I need about 1 to 2 tons.

Sterner Coal Coal, Spring Garden Ave, (near PA116 & Park St.) Hanover, PA 717-632-1344 If you go there, take a look at his coin operated boxed coal vending machine.

I'm looking for pea coal in the Upstate NY Albany area. I have about 1.5 tons in the basement and can get more of the same at a fair rate but I'm looking to try some from another vein. Burning what is bagged as Kimmel's now. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks for you insight(s).

Mr. Pete--->

Check out this guy... I believe he's in Saratoga Springs and he can get coal from multiple breakers including Reading or Blaschak.

this is where i come in. im amazed by the erudition and conscientious veracity on this site. btw, the contribution key doesnt seem to work.

i grew up in batavia , illinois, straight west of chicago. in the early 1950s, the wealthy people still burned anthracite, it came by rail to Alexander Lumber Co and i used to toddle down there with my bucket or gunny sack to retrieve spilled coal. in fact, i watched Norman Rockwell paint the famous ice skating cover of 1958 saturday evening post; he painted it from the office of Alex Lumber.

anyhoo- right now i am experimenting with mixtures of wood and anthracite. lots of wood in northwest and also here in east-central indiana (when i retired i bought the house built by my ggg-father in 1834 - which is impossible to heat!)

osage and mulberry burn like coal and burn synergystically with anthracite - no smoke, no pyrobenzene, no smell...just HEAT. i just built a barrel stove with simple geometry (makes measurements easier) for quantitative tests

so far.....looks super good for extending practical geographic range of pennsylvania black diamonds

Try Steve at Cornwall Coal in Corwall NY. We purchase buckwheat from him and it is very hard, hot burning coal.

hi i live between buffalo and rochester NY. burning stove and nut mix as of now, but will probably burn just stove when the nut runs out. got enough to last me the rest of the season, but i was wondering where the closest breaker was to me, like is there one just across the PA border? i have a 1 ton newer chevy truck with a dump trailer that can hold 5 ton. thanks
