Im no math wiz but air is lighter than coal so with the stove coal leaving air gaps would cause the weight to be lighter.

Ok well my KA6 is at the shop and ready for delivery. I stopped in today and scheduled the delivery for the 20th and ordered another 3 ton of 50# bags. Plus upgraded the free 1 ton of 100# bags to 50# bags for $10.
