When you have large distribution network it becomes quite feasible. If you take Wal-Mart for example what a lot of people do not realize is their success has been driven by their distribution network.charlesosborne2002 wrote: ↑Tue.

So far I've used Blaschak, Kimmels and TS nut coal. They've all been about the same price and quality although I do like the big chunks that I've had come in the Kimmels. I think I do notice more uniformity in size with the Blaschak and the chunks are slightly smaller...about the size of a walnut. I'm finding (Blaschak) may pack more tightly together in the pot and so I have to open up the primary air on my Chubby just slightly more to get a thorough overnight burn. I'm not a pro at this ...this is just what I think.

Yes, I only have TSC for coal, and the price is the same as it is in coal country because their own truck from the warehouse comes every week anyway, so in a sense it costs no more (or not much more) to carry coal along with it. The store can order one bag or ten pallets from the warehouse. Some stores just get a few bags for blacksmiths.
