| Building #19 is selling coal (in a paper bag with a ribbon) for 10
cents. Great for that naughty boy or girl... You only get a handful,
though - you'd need several bags for a stove. :-)

| There's a vast difference in the quality of coal. My understanding is
that there is a definite notion of "seniority" in the filling of coal
orders by the companies. The dealers who have had contracts with the
coal companies the longest get the best treatment (or perhaps they just
know what to ask for). Anyway, the coal you get at a real old-time
coal dealer, if you can find one, will most likely be of better quality
than the coal you get at Joe's Gas and Grain Store.
Bethlehem anthracite is supposed to be the best, I think, followed
closely by Reading. (All coal is identified by the mine it came out
of.) It may cost a bit more than coal from Joe's G & G, but it will
burn a lot better and have fewer clinkers.

| P.S. If you want to drive that far, National Coal in Worcester, Mass.,
is really good.

| Don't heat w/coal any more, but when I did, I found that Draper Energy
in Wilton was consistently the best supplier of low ash anthracite
coal. Prices were good also.
Look in HUMANE::STOVES for all sorts of coal stove information.

| When I used coal I also had good results from Draper Energy coal. You
can get it in Milford at the Mobil station on Elm & Cottage (which is
owned by Draper Energy). Agway also had good quality low-ash coal.

| 1670.6 | Call: North East Coal Sales, Pelham, NH | FOUNDR::SKABO | Expect Nothing U never disappointed | Thu Nov 30 1995 12:42 | 14 |
| I just ordered my 3 ton's (of bulk $165/ton - fits into a 4x4x8 bin)
yesterday as I do every season (for the past 11 years) from:
North East Coal Sales
Pelham, NH
603-893-4640
800-540-NECS (6327)
rice-pea-nut-stove sizes....
They have Lehigh Valley and Reading Anthracite coal in Bag or Bulk,
and their coal is one of the BEST that I have tried.... used others
(when I ran out, from various places by the bag) that had a MUCH higher
ash content and many more clinkers !@#$%^&*

| Thanks for your ideas. We are ordering from Draper.
I am very pleased with how well the stove is heating
our house.
