Right now i'm paying for the cost of trucking and my dealers profit and getting substandard coal. If I was getting quality coal at the same price i would not be searching for alternative methods of delivery. When quality coal costs 325 a ton it is more than double the price of hardwood cords. Not that i want to do the wood thing again, I'm excited about my vf 3000 stoker, but if coal goes up I may just burn a little more wood in my harman duel fuel sf 150.
