Where do you get your Bituminous coal and a going price?

Oh that's good to hear, guys

Bagged bit is hard to come my in my area, the two closest places that have it are Pocono Summit and Reading, but I am working on routing a guy at my warehouse to pick up a pallet or two.

Everyone in the coal industry have been very kind and helpful to me, even the places that only sell anthracite wished me the best of luck getting this thing going (although a few did try to persuade me you could use anthracite in the stoker, for twice the price )

Good source of bit out of the Harlan, KY mines is from Kincaid Coal Co. in Thorn Hill, TN. $85 a ton, phone 767-2900. Excellent source for lump coal that burns well with low vols, low smoke and NO sulpur smell. I did not see a skid loader so you will have to handpick the pile but the owner will usually help you load. There are smaller sizes you can shovel.

Dodds Coal Mine.Bituminous. $39.00 metric ton (2200 lbs). Oiled is a couple of bucks more per ton.

very low sulpher, medium volitiles. Steady quality each year.

I'm a newb and was glad to find coal fairly close to me. I can only haul a half ton at a time and they're nice about it even though they can't be making much on me. They're actually a coke processor. They keep coal around for their own use and sell some to the locals to make a few bucks.

Will they sell you coke, too. You get all the heat and none of the smoke with it?

Interesting on the coke. They make these huge bags of powdered coke, about 5 foot high and wide. i asked the front loader operator what it's used for and he didn't even know. Some people are very incurious.

Howrd Kayle 814-229-7416 West of Shippenville on 322. South side of road, no sign. Look for piles of dirt close to road.
$50/ton mine run. Clarion vein.

Purchased 5500 Kilo (12125lbs) yesterday for $222.45 Canadian including tax.
2"x2" bit. High volitiles, extremly low sulpher.
Easy to burn.

There is a federal GST (goods and services tax) 5% on damn near everything. I think grocerys, kids cloths, maybe presciptions are exempt. Some province's also have sales taxes. Alberta does not. I kinda don't mind the GST if they leave income taxes alone. At least this way your only taxed on what you spend, not what you make. Private sales, (smaller stuff), not houses etc. are not taxable. That's only cause they know they can't catch you.

This last load of coal, larger, more uniform pieces, about 2"x2" to maybe 2"x3" made huge difference in ease of burning. basicaly just fill front half to the top, wait an hour, fill rear half, come back in 8 hours. I Like IT.

Robby, which mine is that bit from? I have a friend who is a load broker, and may be able to arrange a backhaul into Ontario for me.

If my calculations are right that works out to about $37CAD/ton.

Hi Westy, I am a veteran truck driver of 22 years of experience. There is no such thing as a backhaul. If someone needs freight moved than they need to hire a truck. The word backhaul implies that someone is willing to work for a much lower paycheck than someone else. Now having said that, 37.00 a ton is an excellent price for bit, I live 50 km. north of Philadelphia, and will go in on some if you are interested. I can use about 2 tons. also Jeremysdemo from new Jersey is also interested in some bit. Pls. pm me if you want to share the cost. 2x2 is good but 4x4 or bigger is better in a hand fired stove.

we all appreciate the numerous sources posted for bituminous coal, keep them coming

It would make thread even more usefull, however, if the details and coalyard contact information was posted (provided they're known).

example:

"___________" coal yard/mine

"___________" mississippi

Phone # "_________"

address: "_________"

OK,

"Premiun Processing" coal yard.

Phone # "888-248-2215

address: Mack ave, Middlesboro,KY

Hows that?
