Even if you stacked the bags under cover in the summer, there will still be water enough to freeze them in the winter. Randy made the best plan for you guys, and hopefully you will try it.

You could dump out the frozen bags directly into the plastic container....let it dry out and then add it to the hopper in 5 gallon buckets. Keeping it thawed and dryer is key.

A nice little hand fed stove for the shed will dry that coal right out! :lol:
