THAK Ironworks is one of the few suppliers of smithing coal in Canada. This coal comes from Virginia and is in my experience the best forging coal in North America. It is sold in 70 lb bags and is available through us direct or from your local Home Hardware store across Canada.
We provide bulk discounts on orders as follows:

Coal Shipping Information

Our shipping company is fairly reasonable but will charge a service fee of $37.00 to deliver to a residence as opposed to a business. It will also charge a $70.00 fee if you need tailgate delivery. That means having the skid of coal lowered to the ground via the truck’s tailgate.
If your coal can be delivered to a “real” business with a sign, the residential fee does not apply. If your coal can be removed from the truck with a forklift, loading dock, or “hand bombed” by you and not the driver, then the tailgate fee does not apply. Shipping quotes are available for any place in Canada, however, if you are off main shipping lines, expect extra shipping charges.
We will follow up with a shipping quote for purchasers who are also welcome to arrange for their own delivery should they want.
This coal is bituminous not anthracite. Types of anthracite are sometimes called stove or furnace coal and as the name implies suitable for home heating. Blacksmithing coal is much different in structure and not suitable in a wood stove.
