FactorE Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hey everyone, I am very curious as to where everyone stores their coals, since I am very paranoid when I keep coals inside the house... somehow I always feel like it might start a fire and burn ahahha so where do everyone put their stash of coals?

the_cool Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I always leave them in the box they came in. And the box stays near my tobacco stash in a cupboard at the end of the kitchen, away from the cooker! Mire are naturals so chance of them combusting but even QL's are safe, they need fire to spark and even if there wasnt any coals around, a fire will still blaze through your house! So worry not!

I don't know what your worried about, they don't light themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or so they say.But seriously as long as you keep your coals in a semi Air tightish thing you should be fine. You can keep them in the open box, open being the keyword, if you use them fast enough so they dont get water loged or something along those lines. Ive seen it happen to HJ instant lights, they started chipping instead of ashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So worry not!Actually, I leave them in the foil they came in (or poly in a lined box (HJ)) and just mash it around the exposed coal. I have up to an honest almost dozen on trial in a 2 drawer metal filing cabinet (top drawer is coals & foils, bottom is spare hoses). Currently it's 48% humidity and I've seen up to 99% in here, so it's not too big a deal I also have HJ Nats and some other Nats in here also (Viva Fruity of all things...)

Stuie Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Keep mine in the box they came in except my lump coal, they are in an old USPS box. Not afraid of starting a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majid Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The ones i use come in a sturdy cardboard box, no worries, i just keep them in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The box they came in.(sounds dirty)I would think most QL are pretty safe even with a good torch lighter most of them need a few solid seconds of roasting to ignight.
