Phoenix wrote:My company is considering very strongly to sell bagged Bituminous coal for the residential stove market. We can also provide coal in bulk. The general specifications are:
BTU: 13,000/lb, Ash: 8%, Sulfur: 0.50%, Moisture: 8%, Volatiles: 32%, Size: 11/2 x 3/8 inch (other sizes are available)
Our company is located in Oklahoma. We plan to sell 20 and 40 pound bags in one ton lots on pallets.
My question to the forum is do you see a market for Bituminous coal in the residential stove market? In addition, what are the preferred sizes of coal and size of bags?
Thanks,
Phoenix
I think it's a good idea Phoenix. I see people buying these wood/coal add on furnaces and they recomend soft coal as the fuel. More and more people burning soft chunk coal in open fireplaces, wood stoves, ect. Deerhunter
