November 3, 201510 yr Hi, I'm heading up to the Allentown area in Pa with my dad who's dropping off a clock to some guy. We are coming from NJ on 78. Anyone know of a place I can find bituminous coal or smithing coal in that area that's not too far out of route? I can only find anthracite hear, and from my web search I can only find anthracite dealers. Thanks
November 3, 201510 yr I just replied to your Pm on the subject. Peoples coal up in Stroudsburg is the closest place I know of to Allentown that has blacksmithing coal. As I mentioned, since you list Northern NJ as your location, You might be able to head across I 80 into PA, hit Peoples Coal, then take Pa33 down to where it hits I78 between Allentown and Bethlehem. I'd guess it's maybe 1 hour to 45 minutes between I78/PA33 and when you'd get to Peoples Coal from when I went up Early last moth to the PABA meeting.
November 5, 201510 yr Author Im goin to People's on friday. I will probobly only be able to get a couple of bags since I don't have too much cash or a place to put a ton. Thanks for the help
November 5, 201510 yr I don't even have a lot of space for a ton. I loaded up most of a pallet crate and that was only about 1000lbs. I think I paid about $250 for the 1/2 ton.Just tell then you want blacksmithing coal, they'll know what you want. PM sent.
November 5, 201510 yr Author Ok thanks. They told me $12.50 for 100 pounds which is pretty cheap compared to what I was paying. Pallet crate is a good idea thanks.
