The best blacksmithing coal in Texas!

Pioneer Farms gets its coal from the Pocahontas Coal seam via Penn Coal.  This is the same coal that we use for all of our classes and that’s used by ABANA at their events.

This coal is very easy to use with hand crank blowers, cokes up nicely, and is low clinker.  The feedback we frequently hear is that this is the best blacksmithing coal people have ever tried. 

Price: $28 each for a 50 lb. bag

Bulk : $25 each for 25+ 50 lb bags. Please call to place these orders: 5121-837-1215.
