dickb Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Can anyone recommend a supplier of good Blacksmiths coal or possibly coke in the Lower Hudson Valley NY ? Or maybe in Bergen county NJ?j The coal I get now has a few too many stones mixed in and (I think ) too much clinkers. None of the stones have exploded so far . Can't be more specific about the clinkers because I don't have any thing to compare it with. Can't get more than a couple of hours before I have to clean out the clinkers.

Glenn Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Have you contacted New York State Designer Blacksmith Artists, New Jersey Blacksmith Association, Pennsylvania Artist Blacksmiths Assoc. PABA and ask where they get coal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silly goose Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Cornwall coal in New Windsor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickb Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 That's where I'm getting it now. As I noted in my post there are too many stones mixed in with the coal and ( I think ) too much clinkers after a couple of hours burning.
