July 9, 200817 yr I am trying to put together an up to date coal supplier list for the USA. and Canada. I have taken some info from a search I did of the forums but I think it would be better if I got almost all the info from one place. So what I am look for Is the The name. The state it is located in. The town or city it is located in. The phone number including area code. (please if the supplier is by you give them a call to make sure they still sell coal. This will save me a ton in long distance phone calls.) Pricing if current and if it is bags, bulk or buckets. What I have found from most of the other blacksmith coal supplier lists I have found doing internet searches is that they have not been kept up, so half of the places have gone out or no longer sell coal. I think by having this information and keeping it up to date it would be an awsome resource. Thank you every body for all of your help

July 9, 200817 yr I am not sure the price should be listed as it will change with time, and/or their cost of obtaining the coal they sell.
July 9, 200817 yr Glenn, it's still interesting to see what folks from different parts of the country are paying. ML
July 9, 200817 yr mcraigl, you are correct. Those in Maine pay less for lobster, those in Alaska pay less for king crab, and the folks in the coal fields pay less for good coal. Shipping can sometimes be expensive.
July 10, 200817 yr Author This is a great strart, with your help I will build an up to date suppliers list. This will help with people who are new to blacksmithing or have moved to a new area, they will now only have to look in one place. Thanks again for all of your help.
July 10, 200817 yr The City Coal Yard in Brazil, IN that Steve Sells wrote about was $198 per ton for loose coal last July. I picked up 3 ton. Mark
July 10, 200817 yr From the most recent Bealer guild newsletter dated April 2008. I've never bought coal from either of these places. I don't even have a coal forge... Effective immediately: The new phone number for "L Brand"
July 10, 200817 yr WERTZ COAL YARD 829 WEST TRINDLE ROAD MECHANICSBURG, PA 17055 717-766-9592Welcome to Wertz Coal Yard
July 10, 200817 yr City Coal and Asphalt 225 N.2nd Street Pekin,Ill 61554 309-346-0564 Pocahontas No.5 Bagged,Barrel,or Truck Load call for pricing. Last that I bought was a barrel 400lbs for $58.
July 10, 200817 yr I have used coal from both these sources. Green Valley coal is excellent. The last coal I bought from Monger was fair. Green Valley Coal Co. Leivasy, WV (304) 846-6600 Sewell Stream $140/ton, loaded into your truck/trailer Monger Coal & Oil Co. Elkton, VA (Pocahantas?) $5.30 for 40# bagged (call ahead to be sure they have some bagged) $180/ton, loaded into your truck/trailer (540) 298-1256
July 10, 200817 yr I really don't want to get this thread off topic but how much volume is in a ton. How many 55 gallon barrels would a ton make?
July 10, 200817 yr Kevin, 50 pounds is just a little more than half a feed bag, maybe like 2/3 or so. I can't remember exactly. So heck, 55 gallons ought to weigh 350 pound or so. No, here Specific Gravity Weights Of Materials from READE coal weighs 69 pounds per cubic foot (with a specific gravity of 1.11 so it's just a little heavier than water).
July 10, 200817 yr The coal sources I have identified sell small piece Bituminous (Green Valley is 1/5 inch, Monger's was about an inch), which (according to the chart) weighs 52 lbs per cubic foot. Anthricite is much heavier at 69 lbs per cubic foot. The last time I went to get coal, I took a 4x6 trailer with 14" sides on it. Loaded level it was about 1500 lbs, so the 52# per cubic foot is very close. If you take a trailer, be sure it can handle the load at speeds you will drive.
July 10, 200817 yr Just to ask. Do any of these places sell coke or charcoal? we might also want to add places that sell Coke and charcoal to the list of suppliers unless we put them into there own section. Some people need to use these fuels instead due to where they live.
July 11, 200817 yr Blacksmith Association of Missouri sells coal at various locations throughout the state.Blacksmiths Association of Missouri Fred
July 13, 200817 yr I'm in Kentucky and buy direct from Cumberland Elkhorn Coal. It's great coal and the guy I've always dealt with is great. Here's the info:Cumberland Elkhorn Coal & Coke 950 Swan Street Louisville, KY 40204502-589-5300 Call before you head over there. They are not always at the yard so you have to make sure they'll be there. They have a scale to weigh you on the way in and the way out. You can get it in 50lb bags (more expensive) or bring you're own container(s) (the best and cheapest option). I usually bring a 20-gallon garbage can, but I have a trailer now. Your "container" can be anything you can put coal in. The has seen people come in and put coal in many 20 5-gallon buckets. I'll call them tomorrow to get prices and find out if they deliver. I'll respond with the rest of the information then. Heck, next time I go (which will be soon because I'm almost out) I'll take a camera with me and snap some pictures. Maybe you could include those in the list too. Where will this information be posted? I'd love to see an updated supplier list. Thanks for doing this. It will be valuable. I called and it's $500 per ton ($0.25 per pound basically). You bring your own container. They do NOT deliver. Edited July 13, 200817 yr by Rick Barter Thought of some stuff to add...
July 14, 200817 yr OLC industerial material canada B.C surrey they sell good quality coal and it sells currently at $40.00 per 50 pound bag..... however there is a 100 dollar limit so you would need to buy 3 bags witch costs $120.00 and with tax arround $129.00
