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.
Don Martin Trucking
415 Saxonburg Blvd
Saxonburg, PA 16056
(724) 352-1530

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.

I didn't read all 4 pages of responses, but we have bery high quality coal in my area. it is ging for $65 a ton. But I have nevr seen it bagged. You have to pull up in your truck/trailer and they dump it right in.

And that area would be?

kinda vague there bub.

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.

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.

Hi Robby How much tax do they charge for coal? Is it a sales tax or something else? Don't tell Obamanation about it and give him any ideas :sick:

Robby · By: **Robby** On: Sat Jan 10, 2009 7:13 pm

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.

Trouble finding a source for bit coal ( lump) in south central Tennessee. I'm about out and need to find a supply within driving distance, say 4 hour max. I only need about a pickup truck load for now, but I need it ASAP!!!
