I just purchased 3220 lbs from superior last Friday afternoon right after the boss hung up with J.C. :) I didn't hear about the price increase so I guess I lucked out getting it when I did! :D Their nut coal looks more like a pea nut mix. I hope it burns well in a Harman Mask III. Lets hope this global warming ends soon so we all can get down to burning coal its 96 today in se. pa.

D.M. you will get 30+ hours out of a load with there coal in you MarkIII if you have the draft set up correct and adjust
you air The Nut is Not Mixed with Pea it is breakage if you would look at there Pea you would see a differents in
the size betwwen there Nut And Pea Remember both sizes will fall in the scale Big Pea and small nut will be the same

I have used superior before in my chubby. I have never burned superior in a markIII before and am looking forward to it. Anything but heating oil :x Last fall you took several of us to superior during the meet and greet fest :cheers: I am just accustomed to the burning characteristics of Jeddo, Jeddo sizes are bigger than superior's are. However I now have 3220 lbs. to play with in a MarkIII. $224.00 for coal or $1231.72 for oil, :notsure: :gee:
