TSC and/or call Blaschak coal for a list of dealers near you. Possibly Lehigh but their prices may be higher. Blaschak and Lehigh both have reps here that you can message also. Calling is quicker.

Being in Iowa (birthplace of Capt. Kirk) you might have the option of burning bit too
I call the manufactures to see where I can get their products and most are happy to provide you with a retailer if one is able to service you.

The Amish usually know. I have an Amish dealer myself. Is Skei (sp) coal in Ames still in business? They are or were the only place in hundreds of miles with good bit coal but it's expensive.
David, bit coal is not a real good option in Iowa. Mines are closed there so what's still around isnt the best stuff or its expensive, more than anthracite. Unless someone is getting it from further west that I havent heard of, or have a buddy at a coal power plant.
And dont forget John Wayne and Johnny Carson being from there also!
