Sounds like the phone has rang enough to justify a price increase. Pricing may also depend on coal size and quantity.SheepDog wrote:I was just quoted $160 about 2 hours ago.

Terry at Lehigh is great to deal with. He just shipped 22 tons to Eastern Ct. for the second time. 140. a ton and I pay the trucker.
This load is buck, burns great, red ash. Even on the muggy hot days last week, no timer, no hint of sulfur smell, and no out-fires.
If you want to go bulk, try them. Good people!

Last November I bought about 4 tons from them. The price was $140 then, but they charged me $160 since I did not get a full load.... As in 22 tons, Next best price was $170 a ton, so I did not complain. Great heat out put, ash was reasonable.

Don't know but you might be getting a better price on the buck. Demand for that isn't that high. Made up a few percent of my sales.Dave 1234 wrote: This load is buck, ...

Richard, you may be right. IDK ? I used their rice last year, it was very nice and 140. per ton.
This year I wanted to try buck to get a bit less fines, and choke the air a little on my EFM. May help by pushing less heat past the boiler and out my flue . ...... Not sure on that ? I'll let you know when it gets cold again.

I bought 23tons of Lehigh rice last year, $150 a ton. Terry is great to deal with. I had a few oversized pieces , so this year I screened it putting into my bin. No sulfur smell , good BTU, great to deal with.
