The company I work for in West Hartford has a side rail for unloading railcars. The typical railcar holds 100 tons of coal. If enough people are interested, I would consider selling shares of the load, each share would equal 1 ton, but everyone would have to agree to the exact date that they would be required to pick up their coal shares.

AAH!! such a beutiful view, 24 tons of buck delivered today. Now I am ready for winter.

Looks like you are set for the winter! Did you end up getting the coal from Sherman?

It is nice that you can run buck in the K6 and the AA.

Wow, that's some serious coal there steamup! How well does your AA-130 handle buck?

I can't speak for his AA130, but I know some guys that run buck by choice in AA and AHS units. It doesn't "rev up" as fast as pea, but burns well and several people have told me buck is less prone to outfires in the summer.

I got it from Sherman. Tim kept his deal at holding one time spring pricing for this load. Stand up guy. The stuff I bought in the spring burns great in both units. I test fired the AA and no problems but didn't have a good load for it. I have been burning the buck I got in the spring in the keystoker. I need to adjust the timer one more pin as I have had two out fires during the low load weather.

The trucker was a great guy also. Nice to work with.

I was referring to the AA units when I mentioned buck was less prone to outfires.

Understand, when I test fired, the fire kept hot for about 3 to 4 days with the power off to the boiler. Just enough natural draft to keep it alive for a long time but not enough to heat the boiler.
