i love this forum guys! my passions cars and coal stoves hehe

Yeah rub it in Thanks. I would really like to try deep mined anthracite coal without traveling 350 miles, one way.

350 miles That's not far I have member coming in 575 miles away one way Now That's Far You can always build a big bin and have a Tri Axle come out 20-to 25 tons you would be good for a few Years

Thanks for the info I don't know if this has been posted before but here is a two coal sample databases I have found
Penn State http://www.energy.psu.edu/copl/doesb.html scroll to bottom of page
US coal Quality http://energy.er.usgs.gov/coalqual.htm
Most samples are 20 years old or older but it may shed some light on quality of different seams.
