Well Sherman, Summit,Calvin lennings, and Superior all have good coal and are pretty close in price. Just call ahead and make sure they have your size in stock.

Calvin V. Lenig is 140.00 a ton

UAE Harmony mine is 145.00 a ton with a 2 ton limit Per week for local customers you must call first and give your name
before you go there

Superior coal is 160.00 a ton will be going to 170.00 a ton

Summit Anthracite is 170.00 a ton

Sherman coal was 160.00 a ton they to will be going to 170.00 a ton if they did not already

As for what Mike says about Sherman coal I can not say how good there coal is today But I can say when I bought it there in the past it was Hit and miss some times it was real good and other times it was Not good I live 22 miles from them The last time I bought it was the winter of 05 to 06 and many times years before I will Take Mikes word on there coal now being good because they are getting there coal from Different Places Now Then they where before and Mike knows first hand about some of the coal going there now But being I have not burned any of it I can not comment on there coal I can only say what it was like before when I burned it as for the other's above it is all good coal and I have burned tons of it Summit since 1996 and Superior since 1997 UAE since 2005 & Calvin V lenig first time 1999 then again in 2006 to 2007 and about 32 other breakers in between 1995 to The present in this house not counting the years growing up in my parents and grandparents in the late 60s 70s & 80s and a little of the early 90s When Reading Anthracite was king of the coal in this area Boy How things can change

I was wondering if you have ever heard of Mallard Coal? A trucker wanted to sell me a load from them. He swore they had some of the best coal in PA. I can't seem to find them listed anywhere.

UAE Harmony coal seems to have a lighter shade of RED to the ash and less clinkering this year . 100% burn very very clean ash . I like it.

Also have a ton of Superior purchased in Aug and haven't burned any of it yet . Maybe next week

Thats because UAE it is red ash Lykens # 2 coal Vein runs between 6 to 7 % ash content in a hand fed stove it burns to powder

Superior is also red ash with a little white ash mixed in but the ash content will be higher 12.4 % but you will get more
BTU's per lb out of it

Jeddo doesn't bag coal anymore. Also if anybody wants to get rice coal from Jeddo your best bet is to call ahead. A month and a half ago Jeddo didn't have much rice on hand and wasn't selling it to retail customers. Now they have plenty on hand but that changes at the drop of a hat. They do have all the other sizes in stock and never really run out of them.

Anyone using coal from cornwall supply in New York? Was told it is a premium low ash (6-8%) anthracite from various mines in Pa. Would like feed back before purchasing large amount. Burning bagged reading now, seems ok but supplier(tri-County) will not drive on grass to deliver bulk.

Cornwall's trucks are at Jeddo pretty often. The coal from jeddo isn't at 6% ash though it's right around 8-9% and doesn't burn bad at all.

I know this is a tough question but,2 yrs ago I got some white ash coal that made no clinkers and burnned to small flakes.It made good heat not great heat but was very EZ to shake down.If I had to guess I would say 8-9% ash and it was very white.Any info of what coal this was would be helpful.
DON

Also it was unwashed and the size was a little small for nut coal.

Well my coal guy is going to make another run down to NEPA for coal for someone else BUT
Superior said.....no out of state
UAE said..... 2 ton limit(just another way of saying no out of state
Summit said...no out of state
Calvin V Lenigs leave a message
Blaschak....we got it..180.00/ton :shock:
Hudson....we got it.....170.00/ton :shock:
This was for nut.I'm all set for this year but he was going to pick up coal for someone else and I would buy the balance if it was good coal for next year.He gets 5 ton at a time.Then he said Casey Kassa had some,but I wasn't interested in that.
The moral of the story guys and gals,
BETTER GET IT WHILE YOU CAN WHERE EVER YOU CAN !
DON

EDIT Sherman has coal at 160.00/ton so he's gettin that.I guess I'll take a ton to try.
I'm not gunna be sorry,am I Mike :D
Just kiddin..I'll try anything once....Well almost anything.
