Saltfork Craftsmen Club Coal

The coal is $140.00/ton ($.07/pound) to Saltfork Members. NO COAL SALES TO NON-MEMBERS.

NW Region coal pile is located in Douglas, OK. If you make arrangements well in advance, Tom Nelson can load your truck or trailer with his skid steer loader for a fee of $10 to be paid directly to Tom. Tom has moved his skid steer and must now haul the loader to the coal pile to load you out, hence the $10 charge. You may opt to load your own coal without using Tom's loader. The coal can be weighed out at the Douglas Coop Elevator scales. Contact Tom Nelson (580-862-7691) to make arrangements to pick up a load. Do not call Tom after 9 PM!! Bring your own containers and shovels. Payment for the coal ($.07 per pound) should be made directly to the Saltfork Treasurer.

Notice:
Until further notice, there will not be a skid loader to assist in loading the coal.
You will have to bring shovels to use to load your coal.

NE Region coal location: Charlie McGee's place near Skiatook, OK, also has coal to sell. He can be contacted via phone: Home: 918-245-7279,
Cell: 918-639-8779 (No calls after 9:00 pm) or email: littleironworks@gmail.com
