I need a better way to handle it. Thinking a trailer of some sorts where I can shovel right off of it. Getting to old to shovel 3 1/4 ton into a bin.

Do you know if there are any mines open in McDowell Co. (WVa.) that are selling house coal? We are using anthracite in our work shop and am like an easier coal to start. Anthracite is hotter and cleaner but something else to start when compared to McDowell County Coal.

I'd love to find a seller of that incredible coal from the Pocahontas #3 seam. I'm a little north of Roanoke but wouldn't mind the drive. Any ideas let me know, thanks.

There's a mine at Cucumber WV in McDowell County WV. That sells coal $70 Ton. It's in the #3 seam. I know some people who gets their coal there. I'll try and get some information and numbers for you guys.
Thanks Tony

I’ve never burnt met coal in a stove before because dad never did. He said it would burn your stove up? All I burn is steam coal.

I’m having problems trying to find Stoker Coal or Pea Coal. The last 2.5 tons I paid $150 ton. I’m not worried so much about price as long as it good Hot Coal .I was told all the coal was going to China and Russia to fill contracts and everyone has shut down. I’m in Winchester Ky so does anyone have a source to share ??
