Based on my experience with Summit, Lenig, Superior, and UAE the best burning blend is Superior and UAE, it combines the best heat with the low ash of UAE.
Superior Coal Report 12 to 14 % Ash Content
Summit Anthracite coal co.Inc 9 % Ash Content
UAE Harmony Mine 6.75 To 7.25 % Ash Content
Lenig Calvin V Coal co. 10% Ash Content
Hegins Coal co 10 To 12 % Ash Content

I did a Google search for each of these coal companies, but did not find one website; like you find for Reading and Blaschak Coal companies.
Are there retail or breaker locations in PA to purchase these brands?
Has anyone heard of these brands being shipped outside of PA in bags?

They are a very small breaker they get a lot of Refuse coal with Surface Mine Coal mixed not the best in Quality
Your better off with South Tamaqa Coal Pockets Which is Right up the Road From them Or in Front of them if your looking From Route 309 Or Try Tuscarora coal co. about 8 miles down the Road on Route 209. Centalia coal sales also

Sherman coal co. Tuscarora coal South Tamaqua coal. Hudson coal . The Rest on there list stay away from .

I use Premium Fine Coal from S. Tamaqua. They have been getting their raw coal from LC&N. It's the best burning coal I've seen in a long time. I recommend giving them a try and judge for your self.

From what I hear Superior coal will be different this coming year.What will be different and how will it effect the btu value?Getting ready for next years load of coal.I'm still learning how to best burn Superior without making clinkers but I like the btu's it makes.

Thanks for your responses fellas,guess ill try it out and see how it goes.I am only getting a small amount though since i only have a little ford ranger.I will let ya know how it burns.

The coal is great. Plenty of heat,low ash and no rocks,wood or the like.
Would definately recommend them to any of my friends.

What is going to be different about there coal this coming Year . Other then them having alot of Break downs with the breaker this I don't see any changes in there coal mines other then they can't keep up with the High demand of coal
Just like all of the other Mines and Breakers . They might buy mine run / raw coal from other's and that's only if it
tested out to be a good product if not they won't buy it . Other then that don't know what changes you heard but I sure would like to Hear them . Also try less air going in to it the ash fusion temps are around 2800f 2900f With Red Ash coal you will always make clickers with to much air high Iron content White ash does not make clinkers very little to no iron content .

If you mixed the red and white ash coal,would that help the clinker problem?

I thought one of the mines that Superior gets their raw coal from was no longer producing.

Mike
I've tried mixing white and red ash coal but what seems to happen is that the clinkers that form are just as big just whiter.

That mine that they owned was shut down in 2006 the other two they own is where there coal comes from.

Have close the air a little slowing down the air will help with clinkers to hot of a fire is what causes clinkers the Ash
Fusion Temps with that coal runs between 2800f to 2900f so you are burning a hot fire to get that coal to clinker
