Default Building coal supplier list.

I am trying to put together an up to date coal supplier list for the USA. and Canada. I have taken some info from a search I did of the forums but I think it would be better if I got almost all the info from one place. So what I am look for Is the
The name.
The state it is located in.
The town or city it is located in.
The phone number including area code. (please if the supplier is by you give them a call to make sure they still sell coal. This will save me a ton in long distance phone calls.)
Pricing if current and if it is bags, bulk or buckets.

What I have found from most of the other blacksmith coal supplier lists I have found doing internet searches is that they have not been kept up, so half of the places have gone out or no longer sell coal. I think by having this information and keeping it up to date it would be an awsome resource. Thank you every body for all of your help

tis hard coal, smokes alot unless air is constantly flowing therefore it burns real fast but its freakin cheap....from utah i think they said
they will only ship in the state and then u gotta get a big dumptruck full so like 20 tons unless you bring your own truck

Top notch service.

They double bag it in black can liners to keep the Expedition clean, then load it for her.

I am not sure the price should be listed as it will change with time, and/or their cost of obtaining the coal they sell.

Glenn, it's still interesting to see what folks from different parts of the country are paying.

mcraigl, you are correct. Those in Maine pay less for lobster, those in Alaska pay less for king crab, and the folks in the coal fields pay less for good coal. Shipping can sometimes be expensive.
