OK wasn't sure if anyone had actually burned their coal before.
Looks like DiRenzo, Reading St.Nicholas breaker, and Rossi are within an hour also.

Does Blaschak have bulk retail pickup locations?

Blaschak sells retail at the breaker. DiRenzo is closed, they don't have any coal.

Don't forget sherman coal and superior coal.

I got a ton of loose American Premium rice either last year or the year before. There were a lot of wood chips mixed in. I've never seen that before, I was used to Lehigh Anthracite up the road which was 100% rice nothing mixed in. I believe the prices were similar, but with todays price climate all bets are off. It did burn but wasn't impressed with all the wood chips.

Old deep mines were shored with timbers. Now being as all mining for anthracite coal is by open pit strip mining.
Strip mining over old deep mines stirred up those old timbers. Wood splinters in coal was from the hard work of past generation of hard workers. Certainty not a defect that makes coal subpar.

Wood is just pre-coal. :D
