It comes out of the ground here.
Can get run of the mine if you are cheap, and are willing to deal with it.
Two coal yards within 20 miles, buy by the ton or delivered.
Used to take a Lesbaru wagon filled with buckets.
I shoveled the buckets, avoided fines. Weighed in and out on the scale. 5-600#/trip.
Have to carry it in anyway,
so it was easier than jumping in and out of the pickup.
The coal yard is only 1 mile from work, worked out great.
Can get Anthracite bulk here too. It's hauled about 200 miles from
those mines.
