Building coal supplier list.

I see Rick Barter beat me to the punch here with the Cumberland Elkhorn information. Yes, their price just jumped from $240 / ton to $500 / ton. That price is good for all coal you bag yourself or that they put in your truck with a loader. They sell bags for $1. They sell pre bagged coal for $16 for 50 pounds.

MTForge named this company but here is the rest of their information

City Coal Yard
116 North Depot Street
Brazil, IN 47834-2112
Phone: 812-878-9859

Coal yard is just a couple blocks off of US40 in Brazil, Indiana. Also easy to find from I70 take State Road 59 North to US40 turn left (west), once at the traffic light with the Speedway gas station turn right and the coal yard is on the left. For best results call ahead to be sure someone will be there.
As of about the end of June 2008 a 50 pound bag was $14 or $10 per 100 weight loaded into your truck or trailer.

Blacksmith Coal, 40 Lb
Aubuchon Hardware stores in Newengland and upstate NY can carry this coal. While it is not the best coal around it does the trick and if you have several smiths in your area they should have it on hand.
I just a did a week of demos at the local fair 7 hours a day for 7 days and used only 2 1/2 bags. It does coke well. I am using a small rivet forge.

The Gurnsey Brothers Trucking in Schylerville NY near Saratoga Springs has blacksmithing coal for $18 per 50 lbs - they also sell normal coal you can then break down yourself for around $240 per ton - I have been told the blacksmithing coal is a hit and miss in the past - but so far it is burning very well with hardly any clinkers - I'll post after the next bag if any change.
