New Jersey (north) COAL DEALER

Just picked up a ton of rice from Wilson Coal and Supply in Sparta. Super neat way of loading my truck with the forklift and one ton bag with the quick tie release. Coal looks really nice and clean compared to what ive gotten in the past. Look forward to unloading into my containers in the am and to start burning it. Told it is very low ash and high btu's. Post the results soon.

What size truck do you have? I just bought a '99 Dak Sport and was wondering if I'd be able to fit a 1 ton bag in the bed.

You could fit it. A one ton bag isn't that big, 3'X3'X5' tall. The real question is will the axle, springs, and frame take it?

Post the results soon.

Well???

... and like I said, it was 90* and I was out moving a ton-and-a-half of coal in the sun. That's my excuse and I'n shtiking to it.

Sorry for the thread drift ...

I'm trying http://www.wilsoncoal.com/contact.html in Sparta NJ this year. This will be my third year burning rice coal. I'm up in Sussex County. I used a supplier out of Hawley, Pa. The quality was great, but I designed my bin to hold 4 tons and always thought that the 4 tons was a little light. I researched how many cubic yards make up a ton and used 40. My supplier said that it was more like 36 or so. I looked into it and have to say that it is reasonable, however, I just purchased 4 tons from Wilson Coal in Sparta and they filled my bin up to the top! The quality looks the same, however, the real test will be after I burn it. I buy bulk but they also have bagged. I hope this helps.

Did he tell you what mine it came from? We'll be interested in learning how it burns for you.

Sorry just logged on for the year. I have a Dodge Ram 2500 so it takes the ton with no problems. The coal from Wilson burned great with lower ash than i had in the past. Hope this helps. Will be calling them soon as im ready to load the bins...

A ton of coal can be anywhere from 40 to 43 Cubic Feet can weigh from 46 to 59 lbs per cubic ft all depends on what vein of coal it is and what Anthracite field it came out of

Very little unburnt this year and low ash but season is young. Burned some bagged Reading last year as well and was not impressed. I would say for the price and the convenience its a good deal.

Try Wilson Coal in Sparta, Bulk and baggged,973-729-5555

In the four years I've burned coal I can say there IS a difference in the fuel. I burned pea from Aegel's in Scranton, Fairclough in Paterson and American in Sparta.

The coal from American has been great and most important, CONSISTANT.

As a bonus, there terrific, honest and friendly guys. I won't go anywhere else for my Pea coal.
