I get coal from Valley Farrier Supply in Beaver Creek. Still looking for coke.
No matter where you go... there you are.
Oh! And welcome to the area!
No matter where you go... there you are.
I called Valley Farrier Supply and they said that they had stopped charring coal
PANIC!!

John Turkington in Monroe,Or(Farrier Supplies) sells good coal. David Thompson in Eugene had some nice coke for sale at last conference. If you talk to him I can bring you up some to the Western States. Eugene is just a short couple of hours from you.
Ill check them out thanks.
Nick Marceljas at Red Troll Forge was selling 50# bags of Coke. Try him at 360-921-3804. Let us know if he is still selling it, as I have people asking me the same question.Originally Posted by Marcus Butler-Denman
Hey there
I used to buy my coal from Valley Farrier in Beaver Creek, which was expensive! $23 per 50 lb bag.
Another member gave me a heads up and directed me to Central Fuel co. in Chehalis (Thanks Tom!) that sells it for $13 per 60-65 lb-ish bag, or 12 cents a pound in bulk.
I was expecting a very inferior quality coal, but was pleasantly surprised. I actually like it better than the Bradford Energy stuff that Valley Farrier was selling.
It is a hard coal from Utah, takes a bit to get going, but burns well, has some rocks in it, but the clinkers are noticeably less.
I also live in Portland, and can make it up to Chehalis and back in 2.5 hrs. I personally wouldn't make the trip unless I would buy a large quantity.
Anyways..hope this helps
Down to my last half bag & still not done making the propane forge.
You BET it helps!! Thanks!!!
