I will personally vouch for you guys. Love your guys' coal. Its the cleanest ive gotten, hardly any rocks, and the chunk sizes are awesome. I pulled out a chunk the other day that was the size of a football. Best price in the valley too. I don't think ive heard a single complaint from anyone who burns your coal.

Thank you, it's a slow road trying to get the attention of people and show them there is another way. A lot of people like the simplicity of being able to just turn a knob and have heat. With the new technology of stoves available, coal burning is getting easier, but its a pretty big deal to just go out and buy a new coal stove and install it in your house. We are having some people switch from wood to coal, but it's the people who are burning heating oil that seem to be the hardest sell and it's those people who would benefit the most. Hopefully in the near future people will realize that we have this massive abundance of coal in Alaska, and they can use that instead of chopping down our trees, or having to rely on our diminishing oil supply. We appreciate your comment's, it's always good to know someone appreciates what we are trying to do.

No, $145 is if you pick it up, we charge $20 dollars if you are close to Palmer, if you are farther away we usually discuss that with you when you call. I must have missed that email some how, sorry for the delay, you can call Mon-Sun 8am to 8pm.

No prob. with all the spam these days, I throw out lots of emails...

I live in Peters Creek.

Can you do 1/2ton for pick up? I would like a bit of coal, but only a bit for now. once I get my coal rig up ill be looking for bulk. Just gonna mix it with my wood for now. Where abouts are you?

You have a scale or? would be putting it in the back of my truck, but its got a shell on it. If you have a bob cat. I could shovel it in no prob. or a big pile to back up to. This spring, I'm gonna finish my 3Ton coal trailer.

We have a small Holland tractor, each full scoop is almost dead on 400lb, we bag 25 and 50 lb bags thats how we know its so close. Yea, you could shovel it from the bucket, I mean, 1/2ton really isn't that much. To bad you only want 1/2 ton, cause we could deliver you 2 tons for the same delivery fee. If you are in Peterscreek we could probably deliver it to you for 40 bucks.

I'll keep that in mind for later.

Got several things working against me right now.

No place prepped for the coal
Nothing to burn it in
not enough funds to get that much right now.

LoL, that's ok. If you want the 1/2 ton, we can figure it out. Just let us know.

Good to meet you guys today.

If you could get me a hard quote on that Hitzer I would appreciate it.

mthornsley · Post by **mthornsley** » Mon. Jan. 17, 2011 6:07 pm

It was nice meeting you too. I'll just go ahead and give you the number to contact yourself. <Removed phone number becsue of posters request> Just tell him that you are interested in a stove and we referred you to him. You will find that it is cheaper buying it from him, and having it shipped back to Anchorage than it is buying it from anywhere else. Pretty crazy huh?
