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?

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.

Hi Glenn, the closest place to you that I know of is Wertz's coal yard in Mechanicsburg Pa. just west of Harrisburg. They sell bit and Cannel coal. Rich
