I browsed online a bit and saw coal for sale in little bags and boxes up to 40lbs.. Just curious if some areas can still get it delivered in bulk.


I think a place in Harrisonburg still sells it by the bag or bulk, not sure if they deliver. I had an uncle in WV who worked in the mines, he brought his home in a pickup. Amazing heat but dirty, I had an aunt who would come and wash down the walls every spring. Spent a night sleeping on top of the covers at -15 outside in that house.
