Connecticut Coal ???

Hello all, I am newbie to the coal-burning world just installed a Leisure Line 220 boiler, the boiler is great and the folks at Leisure Line even better. I have called around the state for coal pricing seems to be about the same 6-7 dollars a bag. I am burning Blaschak at this time and do not have anything to compare it to, I think I am going to pick up some Schuykill this weekend to compare. Has any ever thought about doing a coal co-op in the state to see if there is way to get a couple of large deliveries to help reduce cost? I have reached out to a coal broker to see what there pricing is for bagged, I also have spoken to a couple of breakers in PA and the current price for bulk pickup is about 160-170 a ton, a have spoken to a few trucking companies and have estimates of adding about 40.00 per ton for delivery. Anyone with any thoughts on this please let me know

Im interested in getting different samples to try out. Want to see what the fuss is about UAE and superior.

A few of my neighbors and I go in on a TT load. We paid $228.00 a ton this year with trucking at $40.00 a ton. I have 2.5 ton of bagged rice I need to get rid of if you are interested I will give you a good deal. Let me know. Ken

NWBuilder what do you want for the 2.5 of rice?
I have had good results from Tri County Coal's bulk coal just over the NY line from Danbury.

ken, who did you get your coal and delivery from, how much would you like for the rice?
Thanks

We got our coal from Dalmation Anthricite coal I would have to ask my Father in law for who the driver was they use independent contractors to haul for them. I guess the guy who trucks for us is a real good guy and they have used him for several years. The coal has been decent, I have burned it for 2 years and the rest of the guys have been burning it for several years now. I can get more details if you want them.

Ken any information would be great I spoke to a breaker today Schuylkill Coal very nice folks, they use a coal broker and I have gotten some pricing for the coal and trucking, If you could provide me with the trucking company you use so I can get some additional costs for trucking. Has anyone burned Schuylkill coal?
Thanks

I burned it last year, it was very good. HOCON in Torrington and a few other locations carries it.

Same here as coaledsweat, only two years ago, Hocon nice people up there.

Schuylkill is good coal. If you are going to get a truck load, and looking to co-op, let me know. I'd be interested in a few tons.

Afternoon

I have found a trucking company that will bring 20 Pallets of coal to CT for 900.00 I got a price from the coal broker that deals with Schuylkill for 250.00 a pallet so the cost of a pallet would be 295.00 (250 + 45). I believe the coal is selling for 350.00 at Hocon gas in Torrington so it is not a huge savings I would like to get 6 or 7 pallets of rice anyone else intreseted?

I would take two pallets of Nut.
Do you have the means to unload a truck?

I think a pallet of Schuylkill coal is 2500#'s, there should be fifty, 50 pound bags. Twenty pallets would weigh 50,000 pounds. That is a heck of a load.
How about Blaschak? What would their price be?

The only reason why I would stay with the white bag guys is that the rice is washed, pretty low coal dust plumes when moving it. Is this washed stuff?
