🪵 Coal Storage Tips
Keep your coal and smokeless fuel in the best condition by following these simple storage tips. Correct storage helps your fuel stay dry, burn hotter and last longer, giving you the best value for your money.
🌧️ Keep Your Fuel Dry
Always store your coal or smokeless fuel in a dry location such as a garage, shed or coal bunker. Keeping your fuel protected from rain and damp conditions helps it light more easily and burn more efficiently.
If storing outdoors, cover your fuel with a waterproof sheet while allowing some airflow to prevent condensation.
📦 Store Bags on a Solid Surface
If you've ordered a pallet of coal or smokeless fuel, place it on a flat, solid surface such as concrete or paving slabs.
Avoid storing bags directly on:
- Grass
- Soil
- Gravel
- Standing water
This helps prevent moisture from reaching the bags.
🌬️ Allow Air to Circulate
Good ventilation helps prevent condensation from building up around your fuel.
If using a cover, leave a small gap around the sides so fresh air can circulate while still protecting your fuel from the weather.
📋 Stack Safely
Stack bags neatly and securely to prevent them from falling.
✔ Keep away from naked flames.
✔ Store away from oils, chemicals and other flammable materials.
✔ Use your oldest bags first when adding new stock.
