Forging Fever Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'm just curios what everyone pays for forging fuel. Tell me where you are, what fuel you use, and how much it costs. Oh and don't forget to add in your local Gasoline/Diesel prices. I live in Point Barrow, Alaska I don't currently have a forge but I'm working on a 55 forge that will burn free pallets. Our gasoline runs at $6.50/ gallon and diesel is $7.00/ gallon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forging Fever Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 I don't know why the pic is sideways when I upload it, but below is a pic of the local fuel prices posted at our one and only gas station. We get all of our fuel once a year on a barge so the prices are set in August and do not change until the next barge arrives the following year. We are actually down $0.50 per gallon for gas and diesel from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boisdarc Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I recently paid zero dollars for 3 five gallon buckets of montana coal, and the drive was less than 20 minutes to get there. Gas is over 2 dollars a gallon now, and my jeep gets about 17 miles to the gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 We're spending $2.48/gl at the local 3 Bears, $2.53/gl. in Wasilla. I can't think of what diesel is going for even though I look at it every time I pass. Propane was $2.80/gl. the one place that had it posted on a sign. Coal? I could dig it myself if I knew which seam or have it shipped in from the lower 48. And that's why I burn propane. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Olson Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 In minneapolis gas is about 2.29. Diesel is about the same. 7.50 for a 5 gallon bucket of bituminus from the Guild of Metalsmiths and 11.85 for 50lbs bag from Tradewinds Fireplace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
