Plus nearly all coal sold is now entirely smokeless, so is a manufactured product and supplied sealed.

 

Falls into the whole contamination bs cluster fk area of planning. And our government friends stopped house coal in 2023 same time as the firewood registration shenanigans and pretty much killed the coal industry.

I was looking into this last week, seems house coal was just banned in England as Wales and Scotland make their own environmental decisions (sensible them)

Regarding sacks I suppose if you've got a local independent coalman who buys in bulk loose and delivers in sacks happy days, but more of the bigger nationals are getting it packaged at source so thry can deliver larger volumes nationwide on pallet networks etc.

Most coal merchants use sealed bags, partly for convenience but also due to keeping things dry.

I would dispute the "most" bit. Round here they sell it at the yard in sealed bags but deliveries are all done in sacks
