2012-2013 Anthracite Coal Prices

Me too. 3 tons Blaschak Pea at $225/ton delivered.

I'm assuming this should go under 2013-2014 coal prices (when it shows up), but I quite recently paid $242/ton for 5 tons of delivered bulk Blaschak pea (which includes a 6.5% combined local and State of Ohio sales tax, and also a small penalty fee for the delivery distance exceeding 20 miles). Yes, Ohio taxes coal.

Started planning ahead for the heating season. Picked up some blaschak rice at Reese's in Quarryville, PA for $185 / ton today.

I was in the Scranton area earlier this month and stopped in at Hudson Anthracite and they quoted a $170/ton picked up. Dropping my daughter off at school in Ithaca in late August, may drive down and pickup a couple of tons. Seeing that I will be towing a car hauler anyway.

Hudson said they can do a Nut/Pea mix for me. Has anybody ever purchased that from Hudson? The car hauler is like a 6' x 8' - any idea how deep 2 tons of Pea or Nut will be?

Hudson is very not too far from I-81 which is great. Could I find a better or comparable price further north on I-81 or closer to Ithaca?

IIRC a ton of coal is about 42 cubic feet. So 2 tons would be less than 2 feet deep in your trailer.
Are the sides of the trailer rugged enough? Coal won't just sit there in a neat pyramidal pile, it will flow to all sides.

I calculated my coal delivery of 6 tons to have a volume of roughly 34 cubic feet per ton after doing some math against the size of my coal bin. Mine is nut size. So it may level out a little bit lower still

Matches my figures for pea almost exactly.
