What do you mean?freetown fred wrote: ↑Sat. Aug. 06, 2022 2:08 pmA month back--I got a 2 ton delivery from POSO coal in Dryden, NY $305 per ton plus $60 delivery. With the BLASCHAK pricing--I'm not gonna piss & moan about it. I'm sure the price has increased since. I use around 3 ton per season & that puts me with around a 5 ton stash. Will get a couple/three more come Fall. Even though this never happened---I'm a happy old farmer.

Price of wood is up too, but not as much. The issue is finding someone with seasoned firewood for sale. In my area most guys are either sold out or not taking new customers.arcticcatmatt wrote: ↑Wed.

Still cheaper than oil. I'm not sure an out propane though. If you can get some dead ash, that would be ok, even this late. Get it cut and split and you'll be fine by Nov.arcticcatmatt wrote: ↑Wed.

Vigilance,Diligence And Homework Seem To Be "The Master" Regarding This Year's Coal Supply Aquisition!!
These price increases really try the Soul. If You go "Back To The Beginning" of why You converted to burning Anthracite,You'll "Bite The Bullet" and do Your Best to keep it on Your Property... Some of the Fine Folks here were raised with it as a Heat and Hot Water Source. The rest of Us sorta' stumbled into it and learned it's value. Me? After 20 years of Fire & Rescue,I got Dead Tired of Chimney Fires on icy,tall roofed homes in the Dead Of Winter. Lack of Creosote Management and Maintenance was usually the cause. None of that with Anthracite. Coal also stores extremely well without infestations and degradations over a long time period. Simple Stuff. Right now,the largest problem is that if You can't afford it,You're Totally Screwed! I Get That! Since I've always said that "Cheap Kills", the "Thrifty Penny-Pinchers" that turned to Anthracite due to it's previous,fairly stable cost are having a complete meltdown... Ya' gotta' manage that. You've got the money to manage this Storm,so do it! My Heart literally goes out to "Fixed Income,Aging Out and Destitute Folks" who are getting mowed down by the drastic price increases. In the end,We try to help each other out and attempt to cancel out Cold Homes for those much less Fortunate than those of Us that can "Bite The Bullet" and "Eat The Bitter Cake" that's been served up by The Industry... Push it,Pull it and Drag it over the line to late Spring 2023,and see if You can bring Others In Trouble with You... That Is All...

Where did you get it from? I live up in Shoemakersville and am currently shopping around. First year buying in bulk. I was fortunate enough that the house I bought in November had a coal bin full which lasted me all season.
