Hey Guys,
This is my first post. I usally speak through CoalBerner(JC). I use those plastic totes with the metal cage around it for my coal bin. I have a couple of them. Some with the tops cut off and some not. I get my coal from Superior in my pickup and load it in the totes with a corn-vac and a shop vac. It takes a while but I have a messed up back. I also put one of the totes with the top cut off on my 4 x 8 trailer and go to the breaker and get it filled. They hold about 1900 lbs. to 2000 lbs. Then I just double up a vinyl tarp to keep it dry and scoop it out with a cut out laundry detergent bottle. When it gets too low I either use the corn-vac or climb in with a small ladder. They work great and last forever and are CHEAP! If anyone is interested, corn-vac has some good things on their website including plans for a bin with a trap door (BLAST GATE). Also the totes have a valve in the bottom where you can screw in a pvc tee and drill a hole in the end cap to put an auger bit through to fill your buckets. Sorry for the lengthy post and thanks to all for their knowledge and ideas.

Approximately 4-1/2 tons of chestnut in the cellar and ready for winter. I get these gaylord boxes from my employer. Plastic resin comes in them. The plastic pallets were also discarded by the company because they had cracked or broken feet. I just saw off the broken foot flush, and screw on a block of 4x4 in its place.
