There is a wide range of pricing for coal, generally the further you are from the coal fields in North East Pennsylvania the more you will pay. Prices for coal picked up at the breaker (this is where the coal is processed into the size for the various types of coal burning appliances) range from around $120 per to $175 per ton. Bagged coal is more expensive than bulk coal and starts at around $200 per ton picked up at the bagging plant.
For storage of bulk you can count on 40 pounds per cubic foot, a coal bin can be fabricated from 2X4 lumber and 7/16 OSB panels. More.
