I was just at the local feed store getting feed and noticed they have a pile of coal. I asked the guy how much and he said $59.00 per bob cat scoop. I know some of you guys burn a little coal and just curious if that is a decent deal. I'm in North Central MN. He said the coal came in from North Dakota and they have been selling a fair amount of it... The chunks all looked to be 6 to 12 inch.

The coal came from center coal in center nd. I bought atruck load there last week and I loaded with another trucker that was going your way. It takes 3 skidloader buckets tomake a ton thats with a 250 john deere with a 60 or 72 in bucket cant remember what I got. I bought it there for 37.50 per ton but now youve got to figure some truckin on it. He had 25 ton on hiswagon. I know because I asked him. I wouldnt think they would have 100 a ton in it. So the are makin a little cash. You could get a load yourself if you could line up the truckin. They sell to anyone, they have a website. Do you have shaker grates and air coming from underneath if you do it burns well I burn alot of it. I was putting 6 5gal pails and tha would getme 12 hours last winter. It is not real high quality coal as far as btu, s but its alot easier than cuttn wood.
