Let's continue to try to be as specific as possible and give as much information as possible when posting coal sources. It is a great benefit and service to others to have this information: phone# and/or address; price; location; sizes; etc.

Let me get this straight. Bituminous coal is the 'dirty' coal and can it be used with a hand fed hot air furnace? Just want to make sure.

If the "hand fed hot air furnace" is designed to burn coal (shaker grates etc.) then soft coal should work just fine. Is there a specific model furnace are you wondering about?

I buy my coal from sampsons coal yard in owensborro ky . I live near nashville tn in fairview tn .sampsons is about 171 miles from my house. as far as i know this coal yard is the closest one to nashville. i pay 75 bucks a ton for bit in lump form it burns quite well. their phone number is 270 683 5512 oh yea they sell stoker coal also and bagged blacksmith coal

Hi,I get my bit stoker at Bramhi inc.(740-384-6212) in Wellston,Ohio. 85.00/ton at yard. They do a lot of deliveries,too.Their stoker is No. 6 (Middle Kit) and does great in my stove. They have about 500 ton stockpiled inside a storage building.

Hey guys,
I am in Lancaster, PA and looking for bit coal that I can burn in my fire place. Have a cousin in Westminster, MD and he is looking for the same. We don't need that much at first (just want to try it) so where is the closest place I can go to pick some of this up in pieces that are large enough that I can burn in an open fire?

Thanks,
Glenn

Ideally you'd try to get some kentucky coal (low coke button), it's a "free-burning" coal that will burn very well in open fireplaces. Also you want the largest size possible. Maryland coal, while good quality, does not have desireable features for home-heating or open fires. Look for the closest location that carries large sizes of western PA bituminous coal (or kentucky, but that's unlikely in PA). More than likely, you'll have to drive to western PA to find any and at the best prices too; shipping is expensive.
