Curious if there’s any suggestions for storing lump charcoal in the Weber Performer Premium. My lump bags are way too big to store in the bin. Any liners/compatible bags that you guys know about?

I have a deck box for all my BBQ stuff but just a plastic bin big enough to hold it would be fine.

I use a deck bin for all smoker materials (besides splits) but then within the deck bin, I have small garbage bins with lids that seal the air. Keeps my stuff separated

I store the bag in the house or garage. I’ve never had a problem.

Any open bag of charcoal gets a spring clamp to hold it closed and sits in my garage on the shelf.
I know you didn’t ask but I put pellets for the smoker in 5 gallon buckets. Those things need to remain absolutely bone dry at all costs

Get a Behren’s galvanized locking lid 10gal storage can from Amazon. Put a bead of caulk around the inside of the handle penetration and a piece of HVAC foil tape over it and you’ll never have a leak. Mine stays outside 24/7/365 and gets buried in snow. My charcoal is right next to my grill and always dry. I got a 6gal version to put ashes in and empty it every 4-6 months.
Edit: Go to your closest big box store (green/orange/blue) and they’re much less expensive

I have one one those Kingsford charcoal containers. It stays outside next to my grill 24-7 in the elements. Never had a problem

Trash bag for something you have immediately available. Protects from the moisture and one less thing to buy.
Put the bag in the bag.

Can’t edit post for some reason, but… thanks for all the feedback. I currently just have the bags clamped outside in garage 24/7. Was hoping I could use the bin on the grill to store some but don’t want to just dump the charcoal in there without a lid and it’s not sealed on the bottom (small hole). Thanks again for feedback
