sound like the anthracite coal business is booming, i dont think there are many if any anthracite burning coal plant is the USA . Is the culm plant near frackville still running ?

Pretty sure the one outside Kulpmont near Natalie is going.One of my tenants works there. They used to supply the greenhouses with steam,now i think they just make power. Frackville has an active website.

Doubtful K---???????????????????????????????????

I wonder how many of them are still operating? There was one at Shamokin, working its way through the unbelievable 100 year mountain of culm from Glen Burn mine. That may all be gone by now. My cousin's husband worked as a heavy equipment operator for decades. First at bank coal operations, then for years at culm loading for the plants. First around Primrose on 901, then later up north. I think their work may have gone to the 99 MW St. Nick Cogen plant which is still going at Shenandoah, asfaik.

Glen Burn is still on fire. There's some youtube videos of it.

I thought it was as well. There's a number of them. The Shamokin one I believe goes back long before Centralia.

Called Superior Coal today looking for a ton of loose rice coal. They said "I don't want to tell you not to come, but they're not really doing/getting rice coal right now". I said what about coming on Saturday and they said it would be ever worse. Was priced at $200/ton. Has anyone gotten rice there before? Do they like break it up when ordered or something?

They are saving the rice for their regular delivery customers. They are the busiest they have ever been due to the lowest price around.
I got Buckwheat there a few weeks ago, they were out of rice. you should be able to burn buckwheat in your alaska. I used to in the alaska stoker i had..

My local company just went up to $465.00 bagged nut, pick up. I'm glad I bought mine last spring. I just wish I bought more.

Called my local bagged coal supplier Thursday. They only have rice - don't know when they can get nut coal. And the rice is $11.49 a bag.

Got a load last week, 399 bulk.

been calling around looking for some rice around the western ny area best I could find was 425/t gonna need to push getting it hoping the price slides back there is no way we can afford to heat this season at over 400/t 300 is pushing it
looked at maby getting a dump or a semi and splitting it a few ways
but all the places just over the border in PA are still >300

I never before had contemplated stockpiling coal but now its something to consider. I have just enough for this upcoming season right now as normal. The extra cost overall was $200+ for this year. Perhaps coal will be less next summer like heating oil used to be.Big gap between summer and winter prices. Prompted me to buy a 1000 gallon tank that paid for itself in 1 year.

Now filling that tank will cost $5,000. For that money I want a used Mercedes

Im betting it will be high a while. Every time they lower the prices people will stock pile and the price will go back up. But eventually it will drop.
