Thanx again.

Penn only sells bit by the trailer load (22 pallet minimum) according to their rep, and it is much more expensive than anthracite (again according to their rep)
Most of these places are a good 200 or more miles away from me.

Maybe I should be looking for bit in Western NJ?

I am about 17 miles from the NJ boarder. (Hellertown-Bethlehem area)

Surely the cost of transporting it would out way the HUGE gap there is between bit and anthracite in pricing. (about an 1/8 of the price per ton)

somebody could load up a trailer of that stuff and make a fortune out my way.

What does that mean? 500# ? 5 hundred pounds?

How many bags is that? and how much is it per bag?

philly is not too far for me.

Better yet, where do you get it? :|

North of Pittsburgh PA
Just recently found this place. Ungraded bit $70 ton. You haul only.

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.

And that area would be?

kinda vague there bub. :D

Anywho, I can't get no bit in my region so I burn Anthracite.

I hope that does not make me a traitor to all whom are faithful to the bit.
