For four tons of nut coal the price per ton is $280.00 (just coal) ..... this is lower than their pricing in Sept. 2014 if I recall correctly.

Just checked the price on there web site for Blaschak nut size

Quote: .

Blaschak Coal- Nut, Pea & Rice

Discount Price:$280 ton (60 bag skid) $336

(Cash or check payment)

Regular Price: $289 ton (60 Bag skid) $347 Last Sept I paid $360. 00 Per Skid - 60 bags - 2400 pounds

50 bags per ton or 60 bags per skid

Remember I live in Iowa, That's a long way from Pennsylvania via truck. This year the price has increased $3.00 to a new price of $363.00 per skid.

In comaparison I believe I'm getting a good deal living half way across the country. So I've ordered 10 Skids

Buck, Does that price above include delivery to your Iowa address?

"Buck, Does that price above include delivery to your Iowa address?"

Yes Sir - that price is all inclusive, that is a total price including freight. I think the total order is 3 to 4 semi loads of 18 skids per truck, delivered to one location in Sept.

I talked with the buyer this weekend and the order must be placed by the first of June to lock in the price & delivery.

The majority is used by his green house operation, the balance is sold to other Amish in the area and to English like myself. I will be purchasing a five year supply so in the event my supply is cut off I will have time to make alternate plans. I burn 2 skids this past heating season so 10 skids will last me 5 years if I encounter a supply interruption.

When I pencil it out I'm spending $3,630.00 to heat five years, the same fuel cost at todays prices * burning LP would cost me $10,890.00. That's a guaranteed savings in the next 5 years of $7,260.00. I know of no Bank or investment that will net me that much in 60 months - (non taxable)

I plan on replacing each year what I burn and maintaining my backup supply. I don't see LP pricing going down in the future and I've grown fond of being warm and tending a coal fire as the winter winds whip around this old farm house... .

Hey John, if you put some insulation in them thar walls, and cover some of them gaps, I'll bet next season you could get away with just 1 skid.
(P.S. Where's your chimney?)

Well he's gotta get that honey-do list done first.

Chimney ?? What Chimney ?

The stove is what we call a "Direct Venting system" a six foot piece of block stove pipe pointed toward the ceiling venting directly to the outside.

Makes it easy to drag a hot stove into the room you want to heat.

LOL. Sounds like the original heating systems, invented by our native Americans. (Logs in a Wig Waam)
