Coal quality from various sources

List amended!

I have both superior coal and coal from hudson. I just started burning some hudson and can tell the difference in the ash color but no difference in heat gereration. I dont know about ash content because i dont measure. The hudson is white ash and the superior is red ash. Burned some mystery coal, that was left here in the house when we bought it in april, not nearly the heat gerneration from the other two I tested.... good stuff, Hugg

I have Kimmels now is this good stuff? The bags I had before was blascpak or how ever you spell it

I like my Kimmels coal a whole lot. Nice heat and not a lot of ash. Burn some and give us a review.

it seems to me kimmels is burning hotter than the blaschpak

That's good. I was very nervous when I was purchasing my 22.5 tons this summer. It would have been real bad to get caught with that much bad coal. I figured that the worst case scenario is that I would sell it and make a profit. I wish I had some Superior to compare it to since that seems to be a benchmark coal.

I've tried both Blashak and Kimmels with about the same result. I haven't seen enough difference to justify spending an extra $45 a ton for the Kimmels. The Blashak leaves a nice tan colored ash where the Kimmels is more brown in color and not as fine.

I am thoroughly pleased with the heat output and limited ash from my recent coal from Hudson. Would reccommend anyone in scranton area to consider this breaker. I have Superior coal as well, and the Hudson is just as good from what I can tell. outside temp is 20, my house is 81. burning a gibraltar with no blower, heating 2700 sq ft.

Hey Hugg,

How much did it cost at Hudson? What size are you burning?

Looks like I need to make a run from CNY before too long.

Thanks

Just called Hudson, it's $150 a ton picked up.

570-655-4151

Be sure to call ahead of time especially if you are getting rice, they are opened on Saturdays.

You're best bet is to show up on about Thursday early in the morning if the rice is low.

Hey 218 bee,
I thought you bought a load of Superior from Chad?
DON

I currently am burning nut in my gibraltar. yep, 150.00 ton. The ash is definately different than the superior. Hudson ash is white and the ash is powder. Superiors ash was reddish and granular. both good heat.

HEY
iam in northwest new jersey anyone know a local dealer for coal besides reading. i can pick it up myself not a problem. from what i have read on this thread reading sucks and i thought it was such a good name. what do you do with 2 tons of reading coal????? how about Christmas baskets:)


thanks LENE

Thanks, Richard. Will do.

Don,
I bought 4 ton off a fella that trucked a bunch in for his shop. With gas being lower I thought I'd visit a breaker to check it out at the source.

Stay warm

Just got coal from Lenig and Kosmer in West Cameron. Burns great, little ash, and cheap. Gotta Love it.
