That is not always the case, bags for us is a royal PIA! Bulk is about as easy as it gets for us, put it in the bin, put it in the fire, done! No going to business place, hauling pallets of coal home, unloading and stacking bags, cutting open bags filling hods, putting coal in fire, disposing of bags.
Plus with a TT load you don’t have to worry about heating your house for years. Up here a TT load last two winters for two houses. It’s a no brainer, but I guess if your not even burning 2 ton a year, you gotta bite the bulletin and the ridiculous cost of bagged coal.
