Thanks, David.

Should've saved my money in '07 and picked up a used diesel truck instead. I'd have been MUCH better off!

I did not know Yugo made a diesel. Learned something new.

The places to deliver. The Eastern Ice has most reasonable delivery fees..but no rice right now.

That would be one to steer clear of!

My buddy had a '87 Yugo hatchback. After I got done laughing at the size of the engine and a spare tire above it, I looked down to see a piece of metal had broken off, and had been resting on his CV axle for a LONG time. The thing was whittled down as if a beaver were chewing on it. There was only 1/4" or less of material holding the entire axle together. Good thing that engine was completely gutless. He yanked that metal out of there, and 2 days later the axle snapped in 2!

Most of the time when I get in contact with places that far east, I find they won't go this far for delivery. Pellets Direct is pushing the limits as it is. If I lived another town west, they wouldn't deliver.

Just wanted to report back on Sherman coal. I bought 6500 lbs at $200 a ton last fall after hearing about Sherman on this form. The coal burns great. It is red ash coal with less than 1/2 the ash volume of other coals I have burned. The ash is mostly red powder.

I burn it in a hand fired Warm Morning stove, so it is burnt slowly. The size I bought was stove. I actually prefer it to Leigh.

^That's what people have been saying. Hope it's equally good next season. Were there many fines?

I have hauled about 32 ton out of Sherman this year for fellow members and myself. Very little amount of fines for all the delivery's I have made.

Picked up a ton of rice from Sherman last weekend, I'll be back for many more. Still at $200 a ton and said they have no plans to increase unless fuel goes crazy.
Burning great, about half the ash of the direnzo I was burning, yes red ash. I could tell it was good coal when I first looked at it.

Not many fines at all. My nephew looked at the coal in the bucket next to the stove and said, "That coal looks to pretty to burn"

Sounds like prices have cooled off some. Has anyone been to Harmony lately? I may call just to see where prices are going.

On the trading economics website coal is down below $200. It was $450 in the fall. Unfortunately that is Asian destination pricing, at least i believe that's how it was phrased.

Yep, those prices are nosediving. Hope it gets to the ant market soon.

If I want any coal for next year, not counting TSC if they resupply or craigslist, I have to get it this month so will be stuck with high prices. I might get a ton and use wood for the rest of next season. but if its still high next year I guess it will be time to switch to propane heating and upgrade my heater.

Interesting. Fortunately for some of these big companies they are locked into contracts months and years ahead with their big customers at the higher prices. That must be frustrating to the customers if they are paying twice the spot market price for coal and fuel. My Nat gas company is still charging me $10 a therm when the spot market is at $2-3 therm.

It's on Rt. 25, maybe a half mile east of I-81 exit 112. Closest town, I suppose, is Newtown to the east.

What's the price for 1 ton of coal in your area?
