Where do you find info on Ash content and BTU rates for Kimmel's coal? I know I have seen some of the guys giving out some numbers of ash content and BTU rates on different vendors of coal. Was looking for numbers on Kimmel's

Went and yesterday and picked up a pallet of Kimmel's at dealer paid $325 per pallet and asked about ash content. Dealer said it was 9- 10% he also told me the BTU rating but I don't remember the number. I think he said 25 million per ton but not 100% sure if this is right.
He also said that he has other dealers that handle Blaschak have been calling him to try to buy from him. I guess that supplies are getting tight from Blaschak. My dealer has all the sizes and a good supply of all sizes.

My local dealer is now carrying Kimmels due to limited availability from Blaschak.
