where is the nearest bituminous bulk coal dealer to the northwest alabama area (Russellville) ? We need to buy it by the ton for a Combustioneer coal stoker heater. Thanks.

Wow! Southern Coal Folks Are A Rarer Breed Around Here! We haven't met too many Walnuts We couldn't crack! This may take some time... What have You already used to conduct Your Search on Da' Net? Did You already have this unit working for You? Did You and Others down there simply lose You're established Bit Coal Source???

Maybe ask your last dealer where he was buying from? You may have a hard time finding any close by. What few southern burners on here there are have had a tough time locating a source.

Our dealer was buying it by the trailer truck load from Kentucky and reselling it. Thanks.
