80 Gallons of coal

I posted this up last year, but to avoid confusion… we’ll do it again.
If ya want it, come and get it. I live in Alabama NY. It’s in 55 gal drums, you can back your whatever up to it.
It has been sitting outside for about a year. One barrel has been covered, the other has not. So it’s all probably pretty wet. I don’t know what type it is.
One drum nearly full, the other slightly over half full.

Gallon is the new measurement for coal by the way… for those who didn’t know.

Oh word I could use some coal to power my locomotive -___-

Unless this is used as a Christmas related practical joke I don’t see a barrel of coal selling very quickly on an automotive forum. Haha GLWS?

He’s giving it away though…FREE for those with locomotives. :wink:

It’s not like people use coal in coal stoves or any thing…

There’s probably some scraps of wood mixed in. So something that is a multi fuel burner would be best… Unless you don’t mind a couple scraps of wood. I mean like, a small 1"x1" cube here and there or something piece… not 18" cord wood splits.

I’m just joking. If I had land I’d scoop this up for any number of fire filled fun evenings. GLWB (good luck with burnables)

Post it on CL for free. People take anything posted on CL for free. Be prepared to meet some weird people though.

How heavy is it? Now that I have access to a truck unlike last year lol

Did Someone say free coal? :slight_smile:

^ lol I will deff take some for a prank

LOL juat? :biglaugh:

Lol I dunno.
I’m too lazy to figure out the weight of it. Other than heavy.

figure out how much space 80 gallons fills in cu/ft… get the weight of coal per cu/ft… and there ya go.
I THINK it was close to half a ton. It wouldn’t overload any truck…

edit;
nevermind was easier than i thought
80 gallons = 10.7 cu/ft

coal is somewhere around 60-70lbs cu/ft

so about 650-800lbs?

I was just wondering how to get it in the truck lol

Not my problem! =D
I would say a shovel would be a likely solution to your problem.
I may even help.

You still have this?

never give away a free bed on craigslist. think about the type of person that is interested in acquiring a free, heavily used bed

it was very ackward

:tup:

Try Bayou/Soho/Pure, there are tons of girls down there that like to burn coal.

sorry, didn’t notice it got bumped. Yeah I still have it.
Right now it’s sitting behind about 50-60 pallets… So they’ll have to be moved to the side if you want to get it. I can help with that part though :slight_smile:
Maybe.

I pulled a muscle in a… bad spot last week. So I can move the pallets, but can’t help shovel coal :stuck_out_tongue:
Unless you wait a while.

do you have some kind of forklift or high lift by chance? I’d be interested in it for fires in the summer… Theres gotta be a way to get it into a truck bed without the aid of a shovel

its a fuckin drum and a half! shovel it. it would take you 10mins
