[TheForge] Storing Coal

[williamsiron at comcast.net]

Some coal is stored in the 50 lb plastic bags the coal came in. Other coal is stored in the 55 gallon plastic drums that make my backyard look like some clean-up site. I have the drums loosely covered to keep out acorns and squirrels. Letting coal get wet enhances its coking characteristics. After all, most smiths wet it down in the forge.
