[TheForge] Storing Coal

[David Childress]

Personally, We have an old watertrough with a cover outside.  It holds
about a ton and the coal does not get to wet.  The only problem is
that wet coal leaches out acids that eat the bottom out eventually.
My first teacher used 55 gallon drums with covers and he always tried
to keep the coal moist but not wet.
