1st year burning coal using bagged Reading rice coal. have had water problems with the coal. Would like to possibly go to bulk coal, about 5 tons, but do not see any suppliers for it in my area? Any suggestions? And what would the bulk coal price be vs bagged?
Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Not a stupid question Windy...."The Southern Berkshires" is a pretty big area. Perhaps more folks should fill out their profile a bit more thoroughly. Clousseau is a bit vague on his locale

Live on the edge here in the Berkshires. (Becket ma)
Thinking of making a trip to Pa to get a load of bagged nut coal. 5-6 pallets maybe. Dont know the price of a pallet down there but here at tractor supply its $320.
Wasn't sure if it's worth it or not. About 5 hrs from here.
