Building coal supplier list.


Recommended Posts

Im in the same situation as you Sidney. I got my 5-70 pound bags a few weeks ago and i had a chance to play with it. It burns hot and clean, cokes very easy but there is more clinker produced than i like. Smells like sweet motor oil burning, Its low sulfur because the smoke is grayish black.. 30 bucks a bag would be fine but 60 bucks a bag it comes to 340 bucks for very little coal, Totally dissapointing, Wallet busting price. I admit its good coal though.

I live in Washington, and this is the only place that I called that still sells coal. They charge $0.09 per pound, that's $180 per ton. They call it Utah Stoker, but I'm not sure what kind of coal it is or how well it burns. I'm still burning charcoal.

There are so many pages to go through as it's really hard to have time to search each and every one to find a supplier near me.
I would like to know if anyone is making a list of suppliers with in states or regions to help make finding someone easier? If so I would like a copy please.

In the Asheville, NC area;

$13.50 for 50# bag, $306.00/ton. 3/8"X1" size stoker.

I've used this coal and it's good stuff. The lady I just talked to was unsure of its origin but if you ask for Wayne he can tell you.

Dennis coal is coming from Kentuckey now and is at $17.00 a 50# bag, they are going through a broker now to get their coal. I have known Dennis's for many years and unless they have just made a trip to get more coal this price is correct. I will call them tomorrow and find out it's a local call for me.

Coal comes from out of state, probably Colorado. It is in large chunks mostly, but it will turn to coke. We break up some of it with a tamper, but by surrounding the fire with the large pieces, the pieces will get hot and fractionize. With your fire rake, you can chip small pieces of coke into the fire. Presently, $100 + tax for a front end loader full. They will bag it; I'm unsure of the bag price. There are a few rocks mixed in.

"Please send the coal and rocks separately; I'll mix 'em when they get here."

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.

City Coal Yard has now moved to Riley, IN and is no longer selling smithy coal... so it can come off the list.

I found a supplier in Southwest Va but he is retiring and may no longer supply coal after the the first of the year (2011).

It is bituminus and burns really well. You can get it in bulk or bagged. Doesn't deliver. I think I payed @ $5 for a 40lb bag.
