Scott,
I'll be getting the coal next week on her day off. Her back yard had two feet of corn snow and was impassable with a four wheel drive. The other option was to carry the coal thru her house. Not a good idea with a wet basement.
I've known Preston Stanley for 25 years. Even before he got into stoves. Nice guy with a nice business. Talked to him on the phone several months ago.
For those who don't know Preston, he converts old cast iron stoves to run on gas or electricity. He mostly sells to dealers and has quite a volume.

Go to http://www.1stclass-auctions.com . Call Paul Albrecht, who is a Reading stove dealer. He knows of someone in Madison, that may sell stoves and coal in the future.Ahshucks wrote:Where can I find rice coal around Madison, WI?
Hi all, new here.
I am going to install an A-130 stoker this summer.
I was interested in the location of a breaker west of Allentown PA
I have access to a dump trailer, and with my pickup, I could easily fit 3 tons.
Thanks, and great board

I tryed South Tamaqua & Premium, but Tuscaroa was far the best quality of the three. As far as consistentency I can't say much I've only bin there for two loads, but they both were good. I'll have to try Superior next season. I talked to a guy that works for White Pine, He claims they'll be starting there breaker up any day now??

cooper. I don't know how far your willing to travel but there is a place in Bristol, CT that is one of the biggest suppliers that carries Blaschak coal. They only carry bagged coal. Nut, pea, I know for sure. They used to carry rice, but you will have to call and check. I buy my coal from them $270 a ton last time I checked.

There is another place in New Britain CT called Household Coal & Oil. You can buy in loose bulk if you want.

I found coal for $190.00 Ton, bagged in 50Lb. bags. Minimum order is 10 tons, anyone wnat to split an order? I need 5 tons for next season, I'm going to rent a truck and pick it up in PA. Cost with truck should be around $205 per ton, I'm in NW New Jersey.
Thanks

and Any amount bag it your self when you go home all you need is a truck/trailer 1 or 2 5 gal buckets cut the bottom out use it as a funnel 50 or so Old feed bags or sand bags use string or wire to tie them shut a shovel or two and you are set one ton one guy about 25 min for a ton with you truck or trailer and gas you should be around 170 to 180 a ton with the Price as there are now they might come down 10 to 15 a ton depends on where the Fule Price will be at later in the summer
