I haven't checked the slip yet but typically it is 22 or 23 tons. We split it 4 ways and it lasts one season with a little bit leftover.

Thanks Rob for the info.
I use about 4 1/2 to 5 ton rice per year.
I also use about 225 gal of oil each season and sometimes run oil
& coal on the 10F coldest windy nights. Haven't had oil on
for some time now with these steep oil prices !

My uncle is the 4th share. Leftovers go to my brother since it is his skid steer and property used for the coal. He will soon be heating a 3 car garage, so there likely won’t be any extra on future loads.

Just brought home another ton of bagged rice coal from my local TSC, $6.49 per bag and 5% discount for buying a ton.

Nice. Hopefully it is as good as the nut coal I got from them a few months ago.
