[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1473179, member: 27490"] This goes way back to the 1970s. The folks in the mountains where they mined coal in eastern Kentucky knew which seams of coal were ideal for home heating and which seams were to be avoided. Seams are numbered. The deeper seams starting with a lower number. The seams higher on the mountain had a higher number. I think they said Hazard # 4 was the cleanest burning. The Tennessee Ernie Ford song meant more to me after I worked the coalfields: I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of [b]number nine coal[/b] And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul".
