[TheForge] Coal supplys

[Larry Ruebush]

We buy bagged coal for around $35/ton from the local Amish. I use it in a 
coal stove in the shop and we have a coal stove in the basment. These are 
new stoves that put good heat out. The house stove also has a water heating 
coil on it. All the Amish homes in our area heat with coal.
The coal comes from the Pocahontas area in PA.
For the last three years, it has been cheaper every year.
