II went to Aubuchon Hardware to get a couple bags of coal to hold me over until I can get down to my usual supplier. They raped me $12 per $40 bag. Shame on them. No more buying anything from them..

Maybe, look close. It appears they just lowered the price on the nut. It was priced the same as the pea. Which is nuts!

My brother in Western Mass., says that his local Tractor Supply has switched over their 40 lb bags of Nut Coal to Blaschek Coal from Kimmel and it burns well, less clinkers too.
Cape Cod: Isn't that the NIMBY area that didn't even want a WIND power plant = it was right offshore of the Kennedy compound... LOL Surprised you can even buy Coal!!

The only reason you saw Blaschek is they ran out of TSC branded bags.

The Cape is more conservative than most think...
Teddy was a poster boy for the liberals...
That let the locals be what they needed to be...
Might be looking at a TT of Pea for a soon to be AA130...
Should cover me until Jan 20 of 2025...
