I'm new on this board and to coal stoves in general but I am sold on them. The problem in Michigan is supply of coal and the price. This seems to be true throughout Michigan but most predominately in the lower half of the state. I've seen more than a few posts from people wanting to join together on a truckload and that seems to be the best idea so since there isn't any organization to this concept, I am going to build one in the hopes.. that like was the case for Ray Kinsella in Field of Dreams... that if I build it, they will come.
I already have 8 tons spoken for and need another 14 to form a load. I'm working on a location to have it delivered to and for a method of delivery if that is desired as well. If there is enough interest, I can improve the system and we can actually have loads delivered geographically convenient based upon those signing up. I know that coal users in Michigan use more than a few truckloads each year so, we can all save quite a bit by working together a little. I think I can do it and keep the cost of those annual pre-orders around the $275-$300 a ton range depending upon the expense in offloading and storage. I'll have those details worked out within the next week or so... given sufficient interest.
I'm going to try to eventually do it with bulk too but, that's going to require a little more in the way of logistics and infrastructure. You can post your interest here or you can email me at info (at) MichiganCoalStoves.com
In about a week, I will have the co-op website up and running. It will be at http://MichiganCoal.com
With a little cooperation, I know I can make this work for all of us and we can all enjoy the amazing Michigan summers without having to wonder in the back of our minds where we're going to get our coal for winter.
Thanks for your interest.

I'm wondering if you got this coal co-op up and running and how its working out? Do you plan on doing this next year? There are a few of us that live up in the north that might be interested in this idea.

I wasn't able to get it done for this year but hope to have enough players for it to work well next fall. If you're interested, let me know.
