[TheForge] Coal supplys

[Bob Ehrenberger]

I had forgotten that Illinois was so much taller than Missouri.  I looked at 
a map an see that you are even with the Iowa - Missouri border.  I'm in NE 
Missouri and get my TV out of Quincy, they talk about Macomb but I had no 
idea where it really was.

Is your coal supplier old order or black bumper Amish? If you ever try it in 
your forge I would be interested to know how it works.  I'm about an hour 
from Quincy, so assume that Macomb would be about three.

I haven't had time to try it in my forge. My work is screwing up my play
time real bad.
West central is my location. I live north of Macomb about 10 miles, right on
US Hwy 67.
We have 5 ton of bags to pick up the first chance I get. It's getting that
time of year. I started my shop stove yesterday and the house stove today. I
have a 40X40 X16 shop and can keep it nice for less than 50lb a day
