What is the best way to store Charcoal for a long time?

Question

I do not BBQ anymore but I would like to purchase some Charcoal and store it so that I have a cooking source in the event of a power outage (I still have my BBQ pit and my BBQ grill. I am talking about the normal bagged charcoal briquets. Not the kind treated with fluid. I live in a very humid area so I am not sure if just leaving it in the bag in a utility room would be okay. Should it be placed in an airtight plastic bin or something similar? Thank you.

Answer 1

yeah buy a plastic bin they dont cost much or tin bin, leave them in there own bag.

Answer 2

As long as you keep it out of the rain it should be fine.
