Don't know of sources in eastern KY, but there are probably some within 100
or so miles of you.
In Birmingham, AL area, you can get it from ABC, Alabama Byproducts Co. ,
in Tarrant City. Mike Linn probably can get a number for you. They prefer
to load box cars rather than pickups.
Pea size is up to about 3/4" - 1" and Walnut is up to about 2".
One consistent complaint you hear about coke is that you have difficulty
keeping it going. If you have a blower that runs continuously and regulate
the air with a gate, you won't have any trouble. There is usually enough
air leaking past the gate to just keep the fire lit.
