Hello every one. Fun to see other from around the state.
I live in the far NE corner - only myself and a few Amish burn coal here.
This is my first winter burning coal and I'm really enjoying it.
Were is everyone buying there coal & at what prices?
I buy Blaschak nut in 2400 pound pallets for $370.00 per pallet. Burning close to 4800 pound per season.
How about the rest of you?
BTW: do any of you know Earl from Iowa I think Des Moines, he has some great stoves he's rebuilt.

Im about 20 miles NW of Cresco. I don't have those pretty hills you have there. Very pretty area anywhere close to the river. Not many burners here that arent Amish either, and they are real fond of Hitzers here.Buck47 wrote:Didn't we talk once and find out we where not that far from one another?warminmn wrote:I can see Iowa from my front door, ha ha I'd request a MN community but I think there would only be 2 members.

Years a good pheasant hunting in your area. Fond memories. Your not that far from me then.warminmnIm about 20 miles NW of Cresco. I don't have those pretty hills you have there.

This area is just starting to burn coal. Only in the last few years. Many Amish here lived in Ohio at one time and they burned coal there.
Where do you buy your coal?

I used to do a lot of pheasant hunting but its been a while. I get my coal from an Amish dealer near Harmony, MN. About the same price as you, $300/ton this last spring. He does order Hitzer stoves from the factory too. My Dad got one from him and Ive seen other stoves there waiting for pickup. Im not sure what state he came from, but he has to many and too large of buildings to burn wood so started getting coal for heat, then his neighbors wanted some and he started selling it.Buck47 wrote:Years a good pheasant hunting in your area.

Always met the best people passing through IA. Friendly, down-to-earth, & hard working - my kind of people.
While filling up my '72 El Camino at a gas station a ways off I-80 back in '01, I had a younger guy approach me with $3 in his hand, extending it to me. Being a city slicker, I was in high alert, ready for anything to happen. I was totally confused, and must've shown it on my face (wish that was caught on tape ) - I couldn't even ask, "WTF is this???" LOL. He just looked at me, and told me to "Love Jesus man. Love Jesus". I was taken aback - I'll never forget that as long as I live. Pretty cool way to get the message out. I certainly looked like I needed saving at that time (and I did ...), so I'm not surprised he singled me out.
As I walked into the station to pay after that encounter, there were a group of guys in there having a discussion over what year my El Camino was. Everybody was right - they all said '71 or '72. Reason being was I had '71 front turn signal lens assemblies on, so that threw people who know these cars. When I said '72, it was like a Wheel of Fortune audience, "OOOOOH! I knew it!" Everyone was SUPER friendly - complimented me on my car with smiles, and I was on my way. Another great experience.
