Here's mine. I loaded it up with 2700 pounds of Lehigh rice. Fed from the level above with a 4"PVC pipe at an angle.
Here are the 40 degree slopes to empty it completely.
I put a slide gate on the bottom so it could be closed of and the side panel removed to access the end of the auger.
Here it is full.

My coal bin, capacity 40 tons. My logic is a TT load is 23 tons and I will not go into winter with less than 15 tons, my usual consumption. I am getting ready, I just need a small load of buck for the ultra cold weather.

2 ton blocks
Half full and my buckets are in the dry
Creating space for another 4 tons of buck
My JSW50 - that is how I lift my roof off the big bin DB1210 tractor for sizing comparison
My nut store is a grain bin - thx Mike (Pacoway)

TIP, paint the inside of the gravity wagon with slip paint. It makes life easier. I have the extension to make it 8 tons. Boy is that heavy to move around.

How many sq ft and what buildings are you heating and how many stoves do you actually run daily?

I guess I am getting the third degree about stove layout --- well for my coal brothers I will oblige...
Main house 7000 badly insulated sq ft. LL AA180 in the basement. Power goes out a quick change to a Jotul 507 so everything runs with no electricity (don't ask). RC Garnet #48 In the back room where we live in the winter. Wings Best ( or the flavor of the day) front upstairs. Separate building 5000 sq ft top floor only heated. Keystoker 90,000btu that needs a little help. Barn appt DVC (Piece of crap). Barn heat - LL Pocono 110K. Other stoves for fun and mixing.
Winter use 12 -20tons. Go big with the black rocks or go bankrupt.
