    Looks like most on the forum use the age old adage of if it doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer.

    I for one will be using the method @Eggcelsior‌ posted from now on.

    Funny that when you get a loose thread in your clothes and pull on it the seam comes undone. But when you do the same on a bag, it rips the $#!+ out of it.

    Look for the side with the loose thread. I can open a bag quicker than with a knife.
     
    So do you grab the loose thread? (no you don't, I know).  What DO you grab?  
    I have three degrees but it was only last year I figured out how to use a tie-down strap; I do NOT want to die before figuring out this damn bag string!!!

    This may be part of the problem, but you can overcome.

    I'm with @cajuncook, one good smack with the ash tool or a trowel or whatever is nearby and has even a bit of an edge.  I dump the charcoal into a plastic tub and go from there, so the bag doesn't help me once I get it home, although I like the light the whole bag idea mentioned also, may have to try that...

    @Botch‌, when pulling through the first loop, you are "untying" or unraveling it, rather than pulling on it straight away. After it's out, pull away. I reread what I wrote and just wanted to clarify. This video is a good example: http://youtu.be/Q-NHxRwds4g
    Thank you!!! Worked the first time.

    I just rip the bag open, by pulling it apart. I don't mess with the string. Same thing I did with my dogs food bags. Easy to do.
