I just had to buy my coal for the season. I started searching on this forum and making calls. I'm In the Allentown Area of Pennsylvania so I called Lehigh Anthracite (way too high). 4 Seasons Garden Center ($390 a Ton or $12 a 50lbs Bag). I called Keller Enterprises to inquire, and they sold their coal business to a new company Emmaus Coal Company.
Looks like the old Coal yard in Emmaus is back up and running. They were open on Saturday morning so I got my ton of Blashack Nut. The person at the yard was a nice younger guy who knew his stuff on why the prices are so high to various sizes and quality between the different breakers and companies. I paid 345 a ton for pickup. Their website has prices. I would bring cash since they cannot run cards on site yet.
Nice to see a revived yard check them out https://emmauscoal.com/

Yeah, thanks for posting that. I stumbled on their Emmaus Coal website a few months ago. It looked like they only wanted to deliver in the local Allentown area. Good deal that you could pick some up there and at a decent (for now) price. At the time I looked at it they said they didn't yard any coal. Only haul to you from the breaker.
