BTW, I've a coal bucket, with a lid, it's kinda the same I suppose.

Ya, I bought a tall, black coal bucket with a lid at Lowes. They called it a Hod...I call it a coal bucket....

Now Stop It, you're just being Silly! Everyone knows it's a Scuttle. Dammit you guys, you never get serious about anything.

Looks like you're going with the Brockton coal?

Good stuff it is.

Brockton Coal? A Google search found no listing. Who sells it and do they have a website?
Is the price per pound, similar to R and B brand coal? Or, is this covered in a different area of the forum?

I know how to scuttle a ship...but scuttling coal would seem to be easier...

I'm have a ton delivered tomorrow from them. I bought (& tried) 2 bags of their coal from East Coast Fence in Kingston & it was good stuff!! (I guess they've had a problem with flimsy polyetheline bags this year, but the coal itself was good) Seems like bigger & blacker chunks than Blaschak.

yeah I noticed this year that the coal is all most a mix between nut and stove I get some big pieces not as uniform and more ash than years past some times I buy from a friend over in hanover on rt 53 he has kimmels wich is just a bagging co. and usualy it is junk but I bought ten bags the other day when I was in a pinch and the stuff is great really uniform in size and less ash than the eastern ice i'm picking up 60 bags one pallet tomorrow I know with this bagged coal some bags are great and some are bad this summer I have to take a trip to see coal berner and get the good stuff
