How long will unopened bags of decent lump stay "fresh" in garage ??

Griffin · March 2016

I was down to one bag at one point. Rained the night before. Picked it up off the ground (with much difficulty as the bag tried to fall apart), threw it in the Egg wet and all and lo and behold it lit (took a bit longer even with a weed burner) but who'd a thunk it, it lit, was hot and food was grilled upon it.

Even rodents and critters will light....eventually.

What's humidity?

Learn something every day. I've been rotating my lump to keep the oldest near the top of the pile, having read this post, I realize the futility of my extra effort. More drinking time.....

I'd be more worried about the bags falling apart in 100 years or so.

FoodSaver bag and keep in the freezer; it will last forever.

It's carbon! Like diamonds. Never goes bad! Just doesn't make for a good ring.

I bought a bunch of fogo for low and slows and still have several bags left. Used some yesterday from a bag at least 1.5 years old that sits outside under an overhang. Lit right up and burnt very evenly for my rib cook.

I buy 5 or 6 bags at a time of what ever I can get locally and that will get me through a season and get me into the next. I only went through 3 bags over the winter but now spring is here I'll be egging more.

Dont sweat it. If you find a deal of something you like, buy in bulk if you have the room.
