I need lumps of coal. - 11-21-2011, 07:17 PM


It is getting close to Christmas, and I am looking for a source for lumps of coal. I would like 5-6 decent size pieces of anthracite coal, or just coal, so does anyone know where I can get some?

Go to Wal-Mart and buy a bag of lump charcoal.

Almost any decent grocery store has it also.

Unless you absolutely need coal, lump charcoal will work as a gag gift.

I picked up Lump Coal from HEB a year back and remember seeing some this year too. It is not the briquetts but real lumps of coal. Makes a great gag gift with Secret Santa.. especially on the first day.

With the price of energy these days, it may pay to be bad.

Try Grimaldi's pizza (or any other coal oven pizza place) Buy a pizza an maybe they'll throw in a few lumps or tell you where to get it.
