Anthracite  from PA.

downeast coal in gouldsboro, is who i recommend.....but its a bit of a haul from bangor. Dysarts carries it and there is also a place in millinocket, but have never dealt with either of those two places and not sure if its bagged or bulk. hope this helps

Dysart's is carrying bagged Reading coal. I've been burning their pea and nut coal, very inconsistent, but my hand-fired Harmon doesn't care. They accidently gave me a ton of rice coal (and came to my house to swap it for what I wanted). They usually don't sell less than a full pallet, but if you give them a call they might have individual bags left from my botched order so you can try them.

I'm a happy customer, but now I fondle the top bag on the pallet before I let them load it on the trailer. So far they haven't given me any strange looks...
