forging coal?

[kurtbel5]

My buddy has a forge/blacksmiths shed from the old days on his farm and is getting it back into forging shape, one of the last things he needs is the coal for the forge, can someone point me in the right direction for anthracite coal (Sp?) the forge works with a hand crank if that matters.
Thank you in advance

Try ABANA.

I think ACE Hardware or one of the other national brands still sells it...but your local one would need to order it in.  Really no big deal.

Kurt, the Communists running your State my have Banned all the coal.

what happened to all of Karls info? That was handy. Will go to the ABANA site today.

Kenny, what are you trying to say?   :p

I have been using the nut size coal from the Pocahontas seam in Virginia or W. Virginia (cant remember which). I don't have the contact info in front of me. You can find a couple of suppliers by doing a search. Different coal seams have different characteristics in that they have variations of sulfur, ash, etc. I recommend this after much search and weeding out of other coals.
