Nope, did not get it. I like the sounds of where you are--everything up my way is ALSO over one hill or another.

Thanx for the come back my friend:) Damn, the Indian Reservation is no longer.

That was a real KOOL shop way back when

Pawoodchucker I've never priced nut coal but that seems expensive to me. I am local to your area and I have found a place in Bernville where I get my bagged rice for $245 a pallet picked up. That works out to be $4.90 a bag. It is Reading anthracite and I'm sure they sell nut also. Just a thought.

Are you both talking 50 # bags?

Hoss · Post by **Hoss** » Fri. Jan. 09, 2015 8:44 pm

Sorry missed the 50# bag part, this is 40# bags. Still $35 per ton cheaper though

Good evening all
I'm always open for a new place for cheap coal . Nothing is cheaper than self pick up of bulk. Pottstown roller mills is getting 6.70 for reading 10 dollars off for a ton . So I just buy 10 at a time not need to store it for no savings. I worked out of cresona for the past 4 years and past , worked in , seen all the coal breakers and mines from pine grove to wilkes barre. Heck we explored some open shafts out in the woods. Not smart but being a city boy it was exciting. The week before x-mas I work out side Lehigh ant even have a pass to get in . I never gave it a thought because I never could get cold to burn in my Wonderluxe until now. Also u must figure cost of fuel to transport this material and trailer rental. I will be building a bin outside this spring so I can get bulk
Here is the math
Roller mill. 10 x 6.70 =$67/400lbs. Reading nut
Livngreen. 10 x 7.50=$75/500lbs Lehigh nut That's 100 lbs more for 8 dollars
Ace hardware in east Greenville want 7.90 for 40 lb bags
I hope that is a little clearer. Please let me know if there is something cheaper. I'm willing to take a road trip if the money makes sense. Thanks Craig

Hey Craig, it is a shame that The Pottstown Roller Mills is so expensive because it is very convenient. The place I'm dealing with is called Reifsnyder's Ag Center in Bernville. Their price for 40# of Reading is $4.90 per bag if you buy a ton. Not sure what the price is if you get less than a ton but it's got to be better than $6.70 at The Roller Mills. Might be worth a phone call.

The roller mills didn't seem to care how much I wanted just simply no discount for a ton. I got 5 really crappy busted up bags. The last time I was there I told the guy twice to take bags out of my truck I didn't want them because of the previous time. I actually had to yell and use the f- word till he under stood what I was saying. Dust won't burn in my stove I'll check the bernville place thanks for the info. Side note I bought my truck at the dealer by the gas station on 183. Precision auto

Ran maybe 30 lbs of the Lehigh nut .i won't disrespect reading coal but I do believe the roller mill is rough with handling their product . Opened a bag from livngreen and it's very shiny , all nut size almost no dust or fines. It crackles different and after 10 hours it was kinda yellow hot . My magnet chimgard was reading around the 600 degree mark on the door. I truly believe that who ever is handling the product has a lot to do with the quality we burners get. I'll still burn both because I have 10 of each on hand. I would like to try all the brands out there just for the fun factor! This is fun isn't it!

Oh. Please tell me how to open that string holding the bag shut.

Thanks craig

Yes Craig this has definitely become a passion of mine that I hate to see end when the winter is over. I've got about 600 # of Reading left and I think I'm going to pick up some Blaschak at Douglassville Ace Hardware to see if it's a little cleaner. Weather like we've been having I've been burning around 100# a day.
