I do have 1.3 ton of bagged left over in reserve from last winter.
Also have another 2 tons in dry storage for emergency!
I may need it if TCS doesn't show up...
CC
maybe that's why they didnt sell coal in the past, they weren't competent to order enough??

4 tons of blaschak nut delivered on Tuesday, inspected the chimney and out a new cap on today. Just need to hook up the stovepipe and fill some 5 gals and I'm ready to burn.

14 tons, what are you heating??? it has to be a huge building or multiple buildings.
2 houses & a repair shop along with the DHW for both houses. From OWB to EFM520 installed in a truck box will give you a good idea of what we are dealing with.

Ok, so today I go to TCS to make my final layaway payment and ask I the Clerk when will the coal be in?
The guy tells me "we have 2 tons in the back for you" Great... That was a surprise!
Apparently when it comes in they set it aside with the customers name on it! :o

Yeh, but with coal you have a winter worth of heat in you yard, and that is hard to beat for oil.

I have yesterday for 2500 kg anthracite of Germany stored in the basement,
this is for my handstove Saey92,

everyone on this forum is always talking about pea buck and utility I wouldn't know how they look like or for any stove they used to be.

We know here in Belgium only anthracite coal with the dimensions 8/12 12/16 20/30 40/50 I use the 20/30 I would like to even try other coal than the European :D
