Coal

[samarb]

I'm nearly sorted out my storage problems and ready to start getting wood bought in. I'm also thinking about the idea of selling coal in bags can any one point me in the direction of where to get them in bulk and what price you guys are charging?

Can some one please explain me why one of the mods have not removed this thread with an expletive for a tittle!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha, I know.

the coal you buy is made up from all the rubbish around the yard to bulk it up, domestic coal is the scampi of the fuel world, firewood all the way..

a firewood merchant once said to me when i asked if he had ever sold coal as well replyed by saying that only the guys selling poor quality fire wood ever sold coal as it would possibly give the customer a fighting chance of burning the wood lol

LOL thanks mate. One of my biggest firewood customers also uses coal and the guy who supplies him is retiring so he asked me if i would sell it to him. My firewood cant be that bad he's had a load every week for the past 18 months. Be silly not to look into this more.

go for it mate , try looking into buying it strate from the bulk coal merchants in wales by the artic load and bag it your self using your own peronalised bags that way you could put your name round by using your bags to advertise , but its only an idea of failing that why not buy the coal business from the guy thats retired ??

I looked into buying coal many years ago,its actualy cheaper to get it from spain,than it is from wales,buy pre packed ie 25 kilo bags,it used to be cheap as chips but im a bit out of touch now,good idea though good luck.

Another firewood supplier has already gone for it but my client doesent like him so opens the way for me. I will hit google and see what i can find. like the idea of own lables maybe i could buy some in lableless bags and slap a lable before sale.
