Finding Coal

[Old N Rusty]

I would like to buy one ton of good coal, in bags, on a pallet. To be shipped by truck to Baton Rouge Louisiana.

[Steve Sells]

Come and get in I am here. 50# bags no problem. WV sewell seam hot and clean

[Old N Rusty]

I will pay for a one ton load of good coal, in bags, on a pallet,shipped by freight truck to Baton Rouge Louisiana. Perhaps Birmingham Ala. might have a source, I do know there is NO coal being mined here.

[dablacksmith]

try L brand coal and coke company...i buy from them every year or 2 they ship palatised bags of coke to me ... i really like it burns clean hot and lasts a long time!

[Private Entrance]

I just bought a 50# from this guy on Ebay. His ad says he sells up to a ton at a time. I paid $15 for the bag and $20 for shipping to CA. The rate he has posted on this ad is $7.50/bag if you buy 40.

Hope this helps.

Contact me PM for his information

OnR, if you don't mind the drive...There is a place in Conroe, TX that has coal and coke. I have used both and do like it. The place is called C&M farrier supply...IRRC... They are on the east side of Conroe on the Loop. Good people and they also have tools and other items.

[Old N Rusty]

I DO mind the drive, lost time and all, it would be better for me to have it shipped to my shop, Besides that is in texas ... yuk.

[CurlyGeorge]

OK Thomas. Ya got me screwed up and confused, which ain't hard to do!! But what does IRRC stand for? Sorry I ain't edgycated to some pooter language. :)

[Thomas Dean]

IRR should have been IIRC which is "If I Remember Correctly"

[CurlyGeorge]

Ahhhhh. Now I understand. Thanks Thomas. :)

Buddy lenord [sp.?] of Gulf Coast blacksmiths in Covington La. should have some coal.

We have been buying coal from Buddy Leonard , $35/50lb bag, not great coal, and 60 miles R.T. I want a delivery of a ton ,a better grade of coal , and not lose a day getting it. For this convenience, I will pay premium prices.

I just today talked with Buddy Leonard. He is not going to get another 20 ton load $10,000 (he say) trucked from ? ( still won't say). Buddy, a retired farrior, lost his leg to diabetes, and has been making a living with his sales of bagged coal, and I stayed away from competing with him while he needed the sales. All things change, now I am looking to get a 20 ton load at my shop, I have the space to store it piled on concrete INDOORS, all Louisiana blacksmiths that want coal, in bags, or a bulk share of the heap. Gimme a holla. For right now I ordered a bag from the E-BAY link above, Thanks P.E.

Why not get coke if you are to order a truck load?

Man I don't know anything about coke , never used it, I would try coke if it is better but I do not want to change my forge, a bottom blast rotating chip breaker in a deep cast iron firepot (centaur) 11" x 14" I tried petroleum coke .. no good..HUGE chunks.. hard to bust , hard to light , and must have constant blast to stay lit. Is coal coke different? Smoke is not an issue I have a 20' - 12" S.S. stack suspended directly over the fire straight up, and we are zoned INDUSTRIAL.

A group of us in SC bought a dump trailer load from this place in VA.several years ago. Its was good coal. I don't know what it would cost to get it to you.

Here in the UK we have what is termed forging coke, and I have also tried other cokes too, a coal fired forge that cokes will stay in longer than any bought in coke I have used.

Yourfirepot may should be OK to use coke in, but if you do not have a constant air blast, it will go out rapidly, not suitable if you have a hand cranked blower,

The coke I use burns hotter than coal that has coked.

If you have good forging coal accessible, I would recommend sticking to that.

Alabama Forge Council has good coal for sale in 50lb bags. If you are not a member, you need to join. Great blacksmith group!

[pete46]

Slowpoke, where would I be able to pick up this coal from?

[slowpoke]

PETE46, I know they keep some at Tannehill state park.Check on there web site

[ptree]

Cumberland Elkhorn coal Co. in Louisville KY sells and ships palatalized Sewell seam coal. Last time I was there they had just stretch wrapped a pallet to go to Washington State. NOT cheap coal, but the best I have found.

Thanks slowpoke.

That is where I buy my coal. Used about 600 lbs doing demos this month and last. They are some really nice people.

Let me know when you receive a large load if coal. I'm in central Mississippi and need a coal source. Let me know what you'll be asking per 100lbs. I have friends interested as well. You can contact me at [email protected]
