Hi coal burning Brothers and Sisters, I have about 1500 pounds of stove size coal in my basement I need to bag up. It's left over from this year. I'll be using pea or buckwheat size next year so I gotta get this cleaned out.
I was hoping some of you that use bagged coal might have a stash of empty coal bags that are usable to refill. I'll pay shipping and for your time and effort involved, whatever you feel is reasonable.
Post a reply here or send me a private message
Thanks!

Recycled 40 lb. bags may hold ~33 lbs. You'd need ~45 bags to get the job done.
I have bought ebay "sand bags" woven plastic material, and they come with a integral tie and will easily hold 40 lbs. Ya'd need 37 of them.

I got my bags from the local 'feed store' they hold 100lbs of feed or grass seed and about 90 lbs of coal...paid $1.00 each and they lasted about 3 fill ups before the mesh webbing started leaking dust
