April 5, 20215 yr I pay 9.00 per 50 pound sack of Pennsylvania Smithing Coal, 7.00 per bag for 40# bags of anthracite coal. I use a mixture of the two in my forge. I also by bulk anthracite for home heating and forging at 215.00 per ton.
April 5, 20215 yr That is what I've been paying for PA smithing coal picked up 10 bags at a time. My supplier sources from the Fisher mine , off Rte 80. Steve
April 6, 20215 yr 17 hours ago, ThomasPowers said: April 2021 NMABA meeting; Robb was selling 50# sacks of coal for US$15. That's what Cumberland Elkhorn sells bagged coal for too. I've bought one just to get familiar with using bituminous. I still have a little left. I liked it but it just didn't like my side blast jabod so much. I have all the parts to make a brake rotor forge just not enough time to get around to it. I found a nice big SS prep table to use. Just got to shake off the laziness and the back ache I've had for two months. Pnut
April 6, 20215 yr I think Robb is selling Colorado Coal, I'll pick up a bag sometime and try it out---I got spoiled on the Sewell seam coal I bought at Q-S.
April 18, 20215 yr $16 a 50lb bag at Homestead Forge in Waco, TX as of yesterday. They bag it up out of their coal pile so you have to call a day or so in advance.
April 18, 20215 yr Any source around south MS? What I've found so far is 0.60 cents a pound delivered. It's decent, but got some large and small, have to bust up some of the larger pieces.
May 27, 20215 yr I just bought some in central Alabama for 10¢ a pound. You have to pickup. Seems to be pretty good. Smoked when I started it up but after it started burning the coke it was nice clean and hot.
May 27, 20215 yr How much clinker and does it coke into big chunks well? I've had hot coal that I had to clean out the clinker every 15 minutes and some where I cleaned out the clinker once at the end of the day---guess which I prefer?
May 27, 20215 yr I have not used it much but what little I did it seemed to coke up nicely and very little clinker. Once I get the big forge built I can put it to the test.
August 8, 20214 yr WOW! I'm getting hosed at $30/ 50 pound bag of coal. On 5/27/2021 at 5:52 AM, Benjamindshoemaker said: I just bought some in central Alabama for 10¢ a pound. You have to pickup.

August 9, 20214 yr Passed an old abandoned coal tip in NW NM on my way to Seattle; thought about picking up a bucket to see how it burns. Not this trip now...
