At the time of 4 1/2 tons left it will be with me thru December January and most likely February…. Just reluctant to mix …. Even tho fire climbs and drops down to grate with this coal it never makes the hopper tube(into it) so I will continue to burn it I’m just glad I figured out what my problem was…. I was at a loss for weeks
If you will need more anyhow, it might better to hold off using it like Rob said. Course if you have no more room, I guess you just keep close tabs on it. When it was mixed, did the fire height change to middle?

Kind of didn’t matter from what I can tell it just burns a lot quicker and kind of fuses together… even when it mixed..I keep an eye on it 3-4 times a day but it gets old but means more beer I guess …. Each trip to the garage have a cold one
