Hard to say if its a good deal or not. Too little info to say at this point.
Looking for specs on BIT ?
Even of you had specs, you have no way of measuring the material to see if it falls within specs. Likely have to send a representative sample to a laboratory.

How many tons you want ?
And is the cooker rated to use bit ?
Have you asked the seller to have the opportunity to test ?
I would guess that you could make a batch test run yourself, using cooker as testing apparatus v. lab analysis. But you would only be testing for burning ability and not for any possible hidden gems like heavy metals, PCBs, etc. You could send stuff out for analysis if the burn does good if you want.
$100/ton is tempting tho

Without the paperwork it's a gamble. I have gotten "overburden" Ohio coal that was quite good. Dad bought coal once that actually turned out to be mostly mudstone, they provided a assay sheet for Pocahontas coal.
