I believe it is Garnsey. 518-695-3346.

October 30, 200817 yr You know I was just thinking that maybe building a list this way might be doing it backwards. Does anyone know who the major mines selling softcoal are? (I know of Reading and Pocahontas) Contact THEM and ask them for a list of who sells their soft coal. This way you only have to get lists from 6-10 mines instead of looking for 100's of little sellers around the States.

November 18, 200817 yr I priced out Thak's coal from a local Home Hardware (they are distributors) for $50 in less-than-full pallet quantities. I attempted to go through my local Home Hardware at first and they looked at me like I had two heads when I asked them for blacksmithing coal. They did a supplier search on Thak and came up empty. According to Robb at Thak's you should have your local store contact Todd Cressmans dept in purchasing at head office in St Jacobs. Once I realized that Thak was just under an hour away, I gave up on the Home Hardware idea and just took a drive out directly. Apparently it is advisable to call or email ahead if picking up in person.
November 18, 200817 yr Yeah, it took 2 'reminders' before they could finally dig deep enough to find it on the suppliers list.
December 22, 200817 yr Pillsbury Coal Co 155 8th Ave NW Glen Burnie, MD 21061 (410) 766-5140 $8.75 for a 40 lb bag in low quantities.
December 23, 200817 yr Pillsbury Coal Co 155 8th Ave NW Glen Burnie, MD 21061 (410) 766-5140 $8.75 for a 40 lb bag in low quantities. This is red antracite (sp) I think, I called them some time back. Is this good for blacksmithing?
December 28, 200817 yr Paul, you asked if red anthracite is good for smithing. It works just fine. I am assuming the red anthracite is the same as what we call red ash anthracite here in Pa. I was told by a coal dealer that the red ash is the deep mined coal as compared to white ash anthracite which is strip mined. There is also a pink ash. I would assume that is located between the white ash and red ash veins. I have used all three types with satisfactory results. I have found the red ash to be my favorite because it gives less ash than the other two types. The only thing with anthracite, don't look for coke. It goes right from burning coal into ash. The nice thing, no smoke and no smell. Right now I am using pink ash and with the air cut back on my electric blower I am having very little clinker problems. However, when I put my larger blower on the forge to do heavy stock, it doesn't matter what coal I use, I get some dandy clinkers.
