It's just marketing. TSC is everywhere and freight is cheap for them, not a big deal.

OOPS! I meant rice in TSC bags.
I just can't get pea out of my mine after using some from time to time in my Buderus for 25 years. Sorry for the confusion.

Found this at my local Tractor supply in Olean NY. Any feedback on the coal packed in these bags? Sizing? Fines? Shale? Anyone know where the coal is from? Ash color?
