I love burning coal. The price has went up pretty high around here. The last time I bought it was around $200 a ton. If I can get my hands on wood for free I'll burn that. Right now I have 4 cords of oak. You just can't beat the efficiency of coal though.

I Drive From WV to PA to buy from Direnzo coal. I paid 160 a ton. I get it loaded into the big 1 ton bags like you can buy fertilizer in.

I haven't bought coal in for 2 years. I usually drive 1.5 hrs to the mines and get 4 tons at a time. I think it may have been $175 or something like that. My dad gets a ton locally for $210. He only uses it when it's real cold out. I used to get it from two old coal miners for real cheap but the epa/Obama shut them down.

Always wanted to try coal, but at $180/ ton I couldn't justify it. I haven't paid for wood, well there was that $1 permit that equaled 16 cord...

If I could get the burn times in my finance

My dad is a safety director for a local coal company and I can get a ton of bituminous coal for $27 a ton but it burns so crappy in my furnace (smoke, backdraft, dust) that I drive 4 hours and pay 8 times as much to get anthracite.

I keep a chunk of Anthracite around just because it is the most interesting stuff.

Lots of Bituminous coal in Illinois and it's high coal but the Anthracite you get through the Amish and they get it from Blaschak or Redding. Comes in 50 lb. bags and it's sure cool stuff. Smells like somebody is making taffy when it's 5 below. Haha. Almost pure carbon makes one heck of a water filter.

High of 6 here today with a low of -1. 72 in the house with the 200,000 BTU Heatmor cruising.

My dad had problems with anthracite. It ruint his stainless steel chimney in about 5 years or so .. also leaves bad rusty looking area on shingles about 10 ft around the top .
