I've enough bad experiences with short deliveries, and I want to get some updated information to re-check the lines I have painted inside my coal bin.

How many cubic feet (or yards) are in a ton of coal?

I guess each grade of coal is different. I'm talking about rice coal, but give them all if you know them. Thanks :)

Weight versus volume varies, depending on the density of the coal. A ton of one brand of coal might fill your bin, while a ton of another brand won't.

There's a pretty long explaantion here: https://coalpail.com/coal-heating-encyclopedia/vo ... oal-weight

I'd suggest checking the weight ticket, it's not guarateed but make sure the times are close.
