    i tried board na mona but they seemed pretty expensive at 12.50 per bag of coal ex yard and 3.10 per bale of briquettes ex yard, i just thought there might be another supplier willing to deal for a large quantity

    probably not the place to discuss this but you need to find international distributors, if buying from BNM you need to be ordering large qtys

    A lot of the guys who are in this game are going direct to pits in Poland etc and ordering shipments and then bagging themselves. As for briquetts it's BNM or other enviromental products, such as saw dist or woodpulp again best off looking at somewhere up in the nordics if BNM are too rich, sorry no quick and easy answers, I think you'll just have to jump in, on the bright side you got 6-8 months to figure it out before the next big season starts :D
