I got 2.5 tons of Lehigh free, and it was stored on a gravel drive. It has lots of rocks in it but they are the same size as the coal. That's another Axeman advantage, it will eat the rocks and just spit them out with the clunkers. Nothing will jam because of them.

Put a small screen over your hopper to be safe just Incase it did get in.

Unfortunately there is no hopper. It's an EFM and the auger is drawing from the bottom of a 6 ton bin. If a rock gets in the tube I'm screwed.

I have an EFM as well, I always put the auger into a 55 gallon drum with a screen on top...

Just bought a house in Danielsville, has a coal stoker furnace, all new to this. I’ve been working with coal for our kiln until Lehigh switched to natural gas, but havent used coal myself. Wanted to know what are best prices? Would I get a discount for working for Lehigh Heidelberg?

I don’t know what Lehigh Heidelberg is... not associated with our company. Call me at 570-621-8871 so I can get a better understanding of what you are looking for.
Thanks

I’m getting 4 ton rice coal delivered @ $218 Ton from Ziegenfus. He’s not far from me. Until I pay one of the tri axle guys that bring us iron ore, Gyp, etc. to pick up 4 ton of coal in tamaqua it would be no less.
