I doubt you'll be sorry with coal from Sherman, maybe not as hot as superior but is definitly one of the better ones out there in my book.

Hudson was 130 a ton a few months back, $40 increase ? Operating costs have dropped with lower fuel prices. When will the coal drop? With coal going up and fuel comming down People will fire up those oil burners again.

Well oil would have to be 95 cents a gal to compare to 170 for a ton of coal you are also forgeting that the mines are
still running alot harder to try and keep up with the demand for coal so they are using alot more fuel which is still over
3.30 a gal Plus there using alot more electricity & water You will not see the price of coal come down until spring and that
is if the price of fuel stays down which it will not it will go right back up after election is over or soon after

I just burned a stove load of Hudson coal a couple weeks ago (I am a beginner) and in the morning there was quite a bit of unburned coal. some of it was reddish and some was whitish I am not sure where I went wrong. Compared to superior coal this isn't as shiny. Do coal breakers typically run out in winter? I still need to go down there and get another ton of Nut coal.

The unburnt stuff is Probably bone which is rock that is formed in with the coal you will not find bone in Superior coal
they take it out when the coal is being processed in the breaker Hudson coal you will find bone in there coal it shows
how one breaker processes there coal better then another also one breaker is deep mine coal and the other is Surface mine coal with Suface mine coal you will get alot of rock dirt and everything else that is between the Surface and the coal
vein most of it if not all of it will taken out when the coal is processed at the breaker Deep mine coal will have less
rock and other unwants because they will blow the rock face away from the coal vein and all they will have is the coal
vein to follow more coal if the vein stays big all the way threw less rock to deal with Plus the coal it self will be better Qaulity because it is deeper in the ground the deeper the coal the better it is in Qaulity in most cases some veins of
coal will have more bone it the coal then other veins of coal will have There is a whole lot of other factors that go along
with this but i will not get into at this point and time but these are the basic reasons

Cool, I don't like this bone stuff, its too much work, I'm gonna stick with superior and whatever other places have good stuff. I dont like the idea of burning a bunch of rocks and dirt in my stove. Especially when the good stuff is like 10$ more a ton or whatever.

From what I've seen with pricing for the last few years I don't think price will drop at the breakers this year.But next year there will probably only be a modest price increase.But then again I was the guy that said that oil wouldn't go much below 90.00

how is the quality of coal from centralia coal sales?
my dealer says it is very good but i have yet to burn any. i know they use various sources to keep up with demand i am just wondering if anyone has experience with it.

Anyone have personal experience with Penn Keystone? It is supposedly all deep-mined from a fairly new mine. Would be interested to hear of anybody's experience with burning it or getting it. Thank you.

I've been burning rice from them and have not had any problems. Are you getting it from CSM, that's where I got mine from.

Dave

Change your list
Superior
UAE lowest ash content
Calvin V. Lenig burns almost as hot as Superior but it is not as clean
Sherman I have not burned it since 05 to 06 season back then it was hit and miss
Summit does not burn as hot as the other's but has nice ash content
