Quality unknown?

CL has someone offering Bit... free coal. I have to travel 80 miles to see it and if I like it shovel in the truck. Is it worth it? Quality unknown?

Let's see???? you don't post the amount of coal --hmmmmm--my response would have to be--wait for it----do YOU think it's worth it?

Opps should of added the CL post (pics added a few times), here's an older post w/pix. Ad said a few tons.

Would I use it? Hmmmm I don't know thats why I asked. Kinda looks like mulch.

I'm not a bit expert, but it looks pretty crappy to me also--might be an Illinois thing but hey, would it be a good deal mulch wise.

I'd pass. Looks like dirt.

I would call them and ask if its like that all the way through it might be covered with broken down leaves from the two trees it in between. another thing to ask would be whats the size of most of the pieces of coal you will have a lot of trouble with coal smaller than a computer mouse.

If you want to try bituminous coal you would be far better off buying "new" coal from a dealer or mine, bituminous coal flakes apart if it sits outside for years.

Looks more like an ash pile than coal, with the price of gas it's hard to say if it would be worth the time & trouble, plus the # of trips.

looks like garbage, don't waste your time.
