Blacksmith Coal, 40 Lb
Aubuchon Hardware stores in Newengland and upstate NY can carry this coal. While it is not the best coal around it does the trick and if you have several smiths in your area they should have it on hand.
I just a did a week of demos at the local fair 7 hours a day for 7 days and used only 2 1/2 bags. It does coke well. I am using a small rivet forge.

I priced out Thak's coal from a local Home Hardware (they are distributors) for $50 in less-than-full pallet quantities.

The Gurnsey Brothers Trucking in Schylerville NY near Saratoga Springs has blacksmithing coal for $18 per 50 lbs - they also sell normal coal you can then break down yourself for around $240 per ton - I have been told the blacksmithing coal is a hit and miss in the past - but so far it is burning very well with hardly any clinkers - I'll post after the next bag if any change.
