Madison: Nut Coal & Appliance

Post by **coaledsweat** » Sat. Mar. 08, 2014 6:10 pm

I'm doing my good deed for a merit badge here. A widow in Madison has 118 bags (2.36 tons as near as I can figure) of nut coal and a stove to get rid of. The coal is Blaschak in 40# bags. The stove is a Gibraltar CFS and looks OK. Probably could use some new door gaskets and it has two ash pans. Both the coal and stove are close to the cellar door which you can drive your truck right up to. She wants $450 (my abacus is showing around $190 a ton here) for the coal and $100 for the stove. Any locals around that want to help this poor woman out?

PM me for details.

That's still a young mans game .... any steps would be an issue for this guy who had more bones in his knees before than when he left the service ... bad luk On level ground, no issues ...

She called me Tuesday and is anxious to sell this stuff. She took a deposit on the house. Any offers?

I have a email out to a friend to see if he is interested.
He burms wood and may want to switch to coal.
I will let you know as soon as he replies

Too late now, the coal was picked up today by a local. Still has the Gibralter stove however, $100.

Any chance the Widow's Gibraltar CFS Stove still for Sale?

Nope. The guy that bought the coal came back just before the house sold and picked it up. Real cheap.
