here is the what I do to get the coal in my "chamber" I dont use the steps coming out of basement any way so I figured what the heck and do it this way, alot better than using buckets. If I load the cart pretty heavy 2 loads will last me almost 2 weeks with temps between 25-35 degrees I would like to see how others get it from the pile to the house, that is if your burning bulk (ROM, or anything delivered in a truck, not bagged) the truck cant get to where my cellar entrance is its too narrow.
