They gave a tour for forum members and they have a first class
processing plant. I have not tried their coal, but I would assume
it would be sized properly and clean. If your picking up yourself,
they are probably the closest to you.

I got 6.25 tons of Direnzo rice coal delivered by Mud's of Port Clinton.
It is really nice coal. The ash is clean and crunchy with almost no
unburned coal. The flame is a very hot and yellow with no fines
blowing out all the time. The price was a little higher than last year,
but worth it. I believe they have plenty of stock.

My load from Blaschak last year was awful. I though my stoker was
being pissy all year, but it turned out to be the crappy coal. There
were times that I ran the ash through twice to see if I could use the
unburned coal. I won't get it again.

Joe...it's more of a pain in the butt then its worth. Make yourself a wire screen box, screen to be sized little smaller then your coal. Dump ash on screen and start panning for unburnt black diamonds.

Thanks Wiz. I don't know if I could do this all the time but it is worth trying once to see how much I might get and how ( never mind I just got an idea>>> I'll make the boy do it to see if I can get some labor out of him.) Next time I see him playing a video game I'll have him play black diamond panning. :)

I believe they buy from various stripping contractors in their area. If you are considering buying some, I'm sure they would be happy to answer your questions.

This is the answer that I got from them last time I asked.
I'm currently burning DeRenzo nut and was burning their stove size. Nothing but good things to say about this years supply. Burns strong ,clean, low ash and i have had no problems keeping the house comfy.
