Storage container for charcoal

[Brauma]

Whats your preferable container for storing charcoal? Ive got 4 half bags of different types of charcoal in my shop. They're just sitting on the floor. There's bound to be a better way to store charcoal and avoid moisture.

i just store it on pallet in my shed and if theres more, up in the loft. Have only 1-2 bags open at a time. Never had any problems with moisture..... unless you leave the shed doors open and the lawn sprinkler goes on in the middle of the night and soaks everything. :redface:

I store it in a plastic garbage can with some holes punched in the top to prevent condensation on the inside.

Stop by a fastener distributor other than Fastenall and ask if they have any of the metal kegs bolts come in. They work great. Another place to check would be a construction company or steel building erector.

un-opened bags on a pallet in the shed---open ones in a metal trash can with a lid and a few holes drilled in it.

I've got a bunch of square buckets that originally held cat litter purchased at Sam's. One will hold about 15# of charcoal, and they're handy for moving around from the garage to wherever I'm cooking. I never seem to have a whole lot of charcoal on hand, so I don't have a problem with bulk storage.

I have the smaller version of this, cost me $20, and holds 2 bags of coal and other misc. junk. Love it.

I use a steel trash can. I don't have any hole in it and it sits outside next to the Gator. I keep news papaer stacked in the bottom, a bag of B&B lump on top and my drop light coiled up on the side. I store 10 bags at a time in my shed with my apple and peach wood.

Neil, why not Fastenal? I know exactly where the local Fastenal place is and I know the guys there pretty well. Thats where I get my welding rods.

Can you name some other fastener companies.
