A Question for the Lovely f-list

...specifically, the US citizens among you.

If I were in an unspecified US city, and wished to get hold of a lump of coal (and I mean proper old-fashioned coal, not those charcoal bricquettes you get for the BBQ which I can't spell), how would I achieve this?

Yes, this is for a story! *g*

Oh, of course! ;D

Tractor Supply Co. is a fairly common store throughout the United States that sells a LOT more than tractors, including footwear, water softening salt, equine supplies... basically everything you need to run a farm. They also sell a lot of stoves and and other things that use coal, so I would think that they carry it. You can check out their website and store locator at tractorsupply.com.

Hope that helps! ^_^ I can just see someone going into a Tractor Supply store for coal and coming out with a pair of their crazy galoshes... especially Remus. *cracks up* Did I mention that the store also has some really good candy? ;)
