I've enough bad experiences with short deliveries, and I want to get some updated information to re-check the lines I have painted inside my coal bin.
How many cubic feet (or yards) are in a ton of coal?
I guess each grade of coal is different. I'm talking about rice coal, but give them all if you know them. Thanks

There's a pretty long explaantion here: https://coalpail.com/coal-heating-encyclopedia/vo ... oal-weight
I'd suggest checking the weight ticket, it's not guarateed but make sure the times are close.
