FireInTheForge02 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hi, Does anyone know where I could find some good bituminous coal in Australia? As of now, i am using BBQ briquettes that don't coke, have heaps of ash, and are basically not clean. Would anyone know where i could find some?

FireInTheForge02 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks guys, think i might stick with the good old charcoal. The stuff does get pretty xxxx hot, just have to have a lot of it. That's where bush fires come in handy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOC Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yes, Fire-y, check out the charcoal making ovens and retorts that are on this forum and the internet. If you can get the wood you should be self sufficient. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damastang Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Try contacting the Bowen Endeavor Foundation. I get all my coke from them, $16.50 for a 20KG bag. They can shift it from the Bowen branch to Townsville for pick up. It's very clean stuff as well, some say Bowen basin produces some of the best coal in the world.

HJP Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hi Fire in the forge where are you? The endevour foundation in Bowen bags coke and sells it in 20 kg bags, they have different sizes ,10-20 mm , what is refered to as nut coke. as well as larger sizes. they ship it to an endevour store near you lets say Cairns or Mareeba and the freight is not expensive as they have their own trucks. try them out.
