Forging Carver Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 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.

Forging Carver Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forging Carver Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
