Icguy Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I finally managed to get a load of coal! Well i was using a ford ranger so its only 880 pounds but I am excited anyway lol. I looked for a long time for a local supplier and finally found one just an hour or so from my house. If anyone is interested I can give details.

ThomasPowers Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 How good of coal is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icguy Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Don't know as I haven't used any yet. I have never used coal before always charcoal so I will be on a learning curve for awhile. The price was too good to pass up and I was getting really tired of making charcoal so I'm giving it a go. The price is 68 dollars a ton for soft bituminous and 2 sizes to choose from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icguy Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 If I could have talked my wife into letting me use her new dodge I would have got the whole ton lol. That look she gave me when I asked though was priceless lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icguy Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 I got the larger of the two sizes because I thought I would reduce the size somewhat after shoveling it twice to get it where I needed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud in PA Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I've never bought bituminous coal, the last load of anthracite I bought was $237 a ton. I burn coal to supplement my oil heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Bud! I got bituminous for around $80 something a ton. I need a dump truck hope you can find something a lil easier on the wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
