Thanks. I may see about an 18 wheel load. I know one that may be idle right now.
I didnt see anything bigger than pea coal there so if you need bigger call first. Mostly rice.

I think the owner of Superior bought Sherman's, same price. I'll take it but don't know how long it will last because all costs for them are going up.

Pinto where is that at exactly. I’m just outside Lititz in Manheim, I grew up in Lititz. My guy is up to 279 a ton delivered. (Was 198 before) He says he has to go to Blashak because Lehigh wont sell to the little guy right now.

The Hegins exit off 81. About a half a mile on the right. About 45 miles one way for me.

Was it Garman’s? I ran out one year and bought 2 ton there. Thought it was expensive.

No not Garmans. They are always high like you said. This was Jay Sensenig up in Denver. That’s a great price per ton right now but with diesel at 6.29 a gallon and renting a trailer I’m prob no better off picking up myself

I sure hope not! Everytime I've gone to superior it's been fluff! Just went up to Sherman's on Friday and got 3 ton (2 trips) and it was $170 (in his words 'for now') . The last time I got coal there midwinter it was as good as the Blaschak I was burning. Hard to tell in the warmer weather whether this batch is as good but I'll take my chances. I'm only down the hill about 9 mi from Sherman's..Blashchak is a good 40 minute drive

Just called Garmans 6/6/22 and $285 rice bulk delivered.

I was pleasantly surprised and asked for 4 ton delivered. They should be able to deliver tomorrow morning.
I paid $260 last time back in January (now 10% increase)
I imagine they dont know about the increases and wont know until they restock next time. Glad they are not gouging atm.

I normally just bag it during summer for hot water but hey never know.

Tractor Supply is out everywhere. Gonna hit up a $7 for a 50lb bag locally and start stocking my garage.
I go thru about 8 ton during winter and another 2 ton during summer/shoulders.
I am currently bone dry out.

Not speaking for Goodprophets, but sounds like he runs a stoker boiler year-round. I use 4 tons nut per winter in a handfired, heating 3/4 of a two story 1800 sq. ft. Could use more some years. For quite a few years, I heated 2 different homes with stoker boilers, run year round. One did about 8 tons a year for one fl. The other 9 tons per year for a 3 story. That was nearly all with high BTU old co. Lehigh Greenwood. Most of today's rice would be a lot higher consumption figure.
