got an idea - let me know what you guys think

AA130,thanx for the concern. I've always found that it's already "NO" unless you politely ask! I've had zero free time lately and have to get ahold of the Willis like I said I would. ZRight now I'm set to be away fighting the local ice storm that we're having.....Enjoy !

I you do ask UAE about a TT load, I am curious to hear the answer. Might they do it at a certain time of year ?

If I remember correctly UAE was the supplier for GregL's trailer load of coal. He did have some difficulty getting through to the right person.

I've upped my anticipated annual need to 5-6 tons of pea now that I've decided to run the boiler year round.

I believe you will need more than that for year round. IF you can do 20lbs a day with summer weather that alone will be 3 1/2 ton a year.

You're right, that would place me at 7 to 8 tons annually.

Any updates here?

Hey Willi,

The problem isn't if we have the need of a FULL Load...

If it helps w/ logistics of the tri-axel purchase of rice size coal, I know a retailer east of you who will take several tons, perhaps up to as much as half of the load. If it would be less then half the load that's okay too.

Plenty members have shown interest here, and diesel looks to be only going up in cost.

I'm willing to help w/ some leg work here...just need to know who has the money now, wants in on the "group buy" and tons wanted by each interested member.

Let's move on this, please.

I haven't heard what the deal is yet. For the right price, and if the quality is there, I would take 5-6 tons of anthracite pea. UAE and Jeddo seem to get good reviews overall. There are probably other good sources as well.

Sorry guys I had not planned on getting so much response so quickly. I will start making some calls next week to see what kind of prices are out there and then we can start getting a list together of commitments to purchase and see what we can put together.

willis---First I want to thank you for putting this idear together-I read of people wanting a verity of coal size-I would like to know if you are going with the largest order or do you plan to have space for several sizes? thanks tom

Update: Talked to Harmony and tractor trailer loads not a problem. price is still 150 a ton for rice, buckwheat,pea, and nut. now im just waiting on some prices for trucking

Willis, would the current plan for this be for end user pick-up in or near Cadiz, OH?

Willis -just got the 2011 coal prices from my coal man--have you come up with your plan for prices yet--also is nut in your plan --thanks

Hi Willis Are you still considering to sell anthracite coal at your yard in cadiz??? Thanks jeb2235
