Lump Coal Storage

The day I start sorting lump is the day I go back to the kettle and Kingsford. Or buy a gasser. I manage quite well by just dumping whatever comes out of the bag. Charcoal is a big enough PITA without making it worse. For no reason.

I'm with you. Lump is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.  

It's what makes cooking on the Egg art to the ceramic science.

Maybe I'm anal, but I've started sorting my bags when I open them into Large, Medium, and Small pieces that live in 5 gallon buckets. I find I build more consistent fires that way. 

Wowzer .. I do the exact same thing .. Three 5 gallon white buckets with lids  from Home Depot and sorted out according to the lump size. I saw someone mention this on a BGE Tips & Tricks video on YouTube and I've been doing that ever since :-)

Same here. 2 kingsford containers of the small and medium.  The large go into a big clear tote for Low & Slow.
