Blaschak rice $6/bag ~ 40lb. bags comes out to about $300 a ton.

They said they'd deliver 2 tons for $560.

This is the mill that I get my coal as well.

I was quoted the same prices.

Stopped by Peoples Coal this AM to order my final ton of Reading nut for the season. Bulk delivery due tomorrow, $245T delivered. Here is a shot of their bagged Reading 7/bag $320/T.

hey guys

This past fall I stocked up on 4 tons Rice from Lehigh Anthracite and I might be a ton short (first season burning)

If I went up and picked up another ton in the back of a pickup truck, woudl anyone know a way to keep the coal from freezing on the trip home? (comes out of the mine wet/with moisture).

i don't believe a simple cover would keep the air off it, and prevent it from freezing together into one solid rock

Set it on fire?

How long is the ride home? I don't know where you are but in my area, Md's eastern shore, you could park it on the lee side with the afternoon sun shining, maybe cover it with clear plastic sheeting, & it would thaw pretty quick. My coal bin is a three sided enclosure with no cover, the open end faces south. The black coal soaks up the sun and melts the snow on top pretty quick even with daytime temps in the mid twenty's. If you wanted to insulate it for the ride, furniture pads covered with a tarp would work well, if you could find a U-haul dealer that will rent them without a truck rental. Otherwise you could do the same with old blankets. Put plastic sheeting under them and a tarp over the top.

If you were on this side of the state, just driving home would rattle it all loose, along with your tie rod ends, wheel alignment, and probably any fillings you have

haha yea I could always set it on fire.

i'm about 50-60 minutes from my local mine, and have access to a 12' dump trailer but I need to keep it insulated for sure.

last time I took 2 tons home in late autumn I had the top 4" of coal frozen into a huge rock

i took the time to build a coal chute through an interior wall of my garage down to my bin in my basement.. so now its a matter of breaking it apart to fit down the chute lol

Picked up just over a ton and a half of nut today.
1/7/15 from Lehigh anthracite in Tamaqua.
$170 a ton bulk
Nice people.
And nice clean looking coal.

Just got a ton of Reading nut and Centralia stove mixed together here locally. $224/ton. Man said the Centralia coal was triple washed. It is beautiful! Threw a couple shovels in the old smoke dragon and got some nice blue flames and a lot of heat!

I had to chuckle about Patricia Farnsworths post:

Paonia Colorado Stoker $115/ton 12, 400 BTU, low ash, low sulfur. Lump $115.00/ton, Nut $75.00/ton

When I was a a kid, we used to drive up there from Grand Junction for the annual summer Paonia Cherry Festival (1960's), and shovel a 2 1/2 ton truck full to GVW for $10 a ton to bring home for winter

Nice black hard anthracite, best coal I ever burned, just a few mines left on the western slope of Colorado.

Now I live in Maine, looking for best deals...

Nice forum !

Just curious, what would make you chuckle about that lady's post? Is something wrong with it? I went back and looked and it was her first post like yours is, so I couldn't look at any background information for reference or comparisons. Colorado might be a viable option for me for coal suppliers if it's good coal. Please fill me in if you could. Jerry

I think it was the price, $10 vs $115.

I called the lady in Colorado today to find out more about the coal she priced and was told it's bit coal. She didn't know about any anthracite around there, but was going to research it and find out if there is some. She was very helpful I thought. Jerry
