I am looking to purchase Anthracite coal in Northern TN or Southern KY.

My Amish Blashack dealer is located near Stanford Ky, Hilltop Farms Greenhouse, Ky HWY 643, Ph # 606-355-2029. They have bagged nut and pea, they will order other sizes as needed.

They also have great deals on plants and flowers in the spring.

The owners Mervin and Mattie Byler are very nice.

They are the southern most anthracite dealer I am aware of.

Their price was $330/2400 lbs earlier this year.

Amish Traditions and fireplace shoppe

4981 Nashville Road
Franklin, KY 42134
(270) 598-7299

They first sold me was Blaschack Nut coal which popped and cracked a lot and did not burn well in my Mark III. They are currently selling 50lb. unmarked bags of coal that is much more oily? doesn't pop and crack and burns much hotter. It appears to be a much better coal.

Thanks! I'll ride over next week. Actually I'll stop back by after I go to BOA in Springfield, there aren't any BOA's in Kentucky & I do a little business with them so I visit Springfield often.

Going to resurrect this old thread. Has anything changed about coal availability for you folks in S Kentucky? I can get to the Amish one north of Nashville in about 3.5 hours probably. Are there any north of Knoxville that anyone can tell me of? It is maddening to do a search for anthracite on the computer.

There does not appear to be any dealers in Knoxville or Nashville. Thinking of getting the smallest stoker possible and tie it into my hot air system here in Chattanooga. Propane is almost $4/gallon!

Natural gas runs right bye me but is not available to this house.

Electric might be a better choice but I resist using it. Only about .08 per kilowatt here.

Try contacting folks here:

My guess is that if it's available, someone on that site will know.

The one I originally posted about, who I bought from for three years, Amish Traditions, went out of business. I now travel to Munfordsville KY and get two skids per year in one load from Dutch Built Specialties. I live 30 miles north of Nashville and that's the closest I can find. I think it is around $330.00 per ton. I am late this year but should be going there soon.
