So I shut down for a few weeks in order to rebuild the top of my chimney. The fellow that helped me has 70 bags of coal he wanted to sell. So I picked up 20 yesterday. He said it stays damp in the bag. Well put my chute in this morning and should have paid closer attention. I have a bunch of vacuuming to do in the basement!
So for the balance of the bags was this to open the top and give them a spray from the hose?
Thoughts??
Anybody want to help with the vacuuming!

Hello Kungur,

Spraying the coal in the bags giving the coal a good soaking before you dump it
will solve the dust issue for you while dumping the bagged coal down the chute.
It will not hurt anything.

Thanks!
So all the vacuuming is done and a wet mopping cleaned up everything. That's not going to happen again!
