Coal quality from various sources

Has anyone ever tried C.N.Y Coal? I am in the Syracuse area and saw an ad for them. They pick up coal in PA. and bag it themselves. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi... I'm new to this forum, so forgive me if this is the 10,000 time the question has been asked.

I'm in Massachusetts so we get what coal we can get. Last year I burned Kimmel (pea) in an Effel Arden hand-fed hopper with good results. It isn't clear that I'll be able to get Kimmel again, most of the dealers are selling Blaschak. If I go the Blaschak route what am I in for? more/less ash, more/less heat?

thanks

I used Blaschak Rice last year. Very happy with it. Nice and clean.

Does anyone know anything about or burned coal from Gale Mining Co 1441 Oak Rd, Pottsville, PA 17901? This is what they emailed me. "Ed, our coal is cleaned to standard anthracite specifications which vary from size to size.ASTM allows nut coal to be 11% ash,pea coal 12%,And buck and rice must be 13% or better.We have a product that is consistently good and meets these minimum standards.Our feedstock is blended so our ash falls between red and white,we call it tan ash, and find blended coals to be less troublesome for the enduser"
