That's a good idea. What kind of bags work well for this? Where can I get 50 or so? Will the breakers allow me to do this? I havent been to one of the sites before. I can work fast thats not a problem. What are the directions for the highest quality coal off 81 for a decent price that will sell a ton at a time?stokerscot wrote:Why don't you take some bags with you and bag some yourself. It isn't that much more work really. Someone I know told me that it takes two guys about 20 minutes to bag a ton. At that rate it would take you 30 minutes by yourself. Scott

Look on line for sand bags. 22x34" or something like that. You only pay for as much coal as you take. You weigh the vehicle, load the coal then weigh the vehicle. You pay for fractional amounts like 53/80 ths of a ton.Check out the superior or UAE threads ther are others close to the highway. Pm member coal berner for directions. good luck!

The guy next door and I were talking about coal I burn bit he burns anthracite and when I told hime the price I get driving right to the mine he said he like to find out where the mines are to go and get his own too we live in the southern tier of New York (corning)he is planning to pick up around 5 ton bagged and said travel is no big deal . Does anyone know where he can drive right to a mine and pick up bagged chesnut? Thanks in advance, Bud
Take 17 east to 81 south. Head in to PA. Coal Berner has some links to the breakers on this thread.Bud wrote:The guy next door and I were talking about coal I burn bit he burns anthracite and when I told hime the price I get driving right to the mine he said he like to find out where the mines are to go and get his own too we live in the southern tier of New York (corning)he is planning to pick up around 5 ton bagged and said travel is no big deal .

Bagged is going to be double or more no matter where you get it even here, you have to purchase in bulk if you want to save money. Just to add I don't think Superior has bagged coal.Bud wrote: Does anyone know where he can drive right to a mine and pick up bagged chesnut? Thanks in advance, Bud

Yep and if you got it at the coal breaker's down here bulk loose you would of paid 6.50 Per hundred to 7.00 per hundredDevil5052 wrote:Just paid what amounts to $5.82/bag for 2 pallets (120 40lb bags of Blaschak) I'm a happy man!
lbs 130.00 a ton to 140.00 a ton also looks like a good place to put a outside coal bin with a hinge top of course and
a gelatine door on the side
Agreed but I'm pretty far away & once you add in the transportation charges vs the convenience I'm still a happy man!coal berner wrote:Yep and if you got it at the coal breaker's down here bulk loose you would of paid 6.50 Per hundred to 7.00 per hundredDevil5052 wrote:Just paid what amounts to $5.82/bag for 2 pallets (120 40lb bags of Blaschak) I'm a happy man!
