Storage Containers - Wood chips/chunks

blakeas

I have an out door storage table and cabinet.  I store my wood chunks and chips in the cabinet.  However, I need to get some containers to put them in,  What do people use here?  Just was curious

I have some self cut apple chunks in a cardboard box in a cabinet under my egg, been there for years filled it every couple of years when the tree needs pruning. Same for cherry. Not much hickory or pecan around here, so it is stored in the plastic bag it came in. With the BGE/Primo I use maybe 1/5th what I used to go thru with the kettle.

Depends on how much you want to store ... I normally try and find woodchunks and pellets/chips that come in ziplock type bags. Having said that, ziplock does make a large storage bag too.

Not sure if that is any better than containers though ... as the containers can be stacked.

Since they will be kept in an already sheltered location go get a few "milk crates". They're stackable and just $5-$10 apiece.

Got these on the cheap at Lowe’s 

The Cen-Tex Smoker

I use these for pellets and wood chunks. They have a gasket around them and keep the humidity out as well as any water, critters, neer-do-wells. I keep ammo in them too. They come in several sizes. I've had them for several years and taken them on several camping/hunting trips. They still look brand new.

I use Behrens galvanized cans and pails with lids to store all my lump and chunks. They sit on the deck with the grilles. It keeps everything dry and keeps the critters out. Are they hermetically sealed? No. It doesn't matter. They're very durable too. Great results for several years.
