Charcoal Storage

[Jeepin79]

May be a dumb question but here in the midwest its crazy cold currently and it got me thinking.  Does the cold effect unused charcoal?  I have 6 or 8 bags, some is in my heated garage but the rest is in my shed, obviously not heated and out in the cold.  Does storing it in the cold "hurt" it at all or am I good to leave it out there?

Midwest here as well. I bought over 1/2 ton of kbb 2 summers ago during one of the sales and stacked it in my unheated shed. Still have 15-20 bags left. No issues with it at all. As long as it's dry it should last for a very long time.

I'd think as long as you are below freezing it might actually make the charcoal better.  It shouldn't absorb any moisture and would most likely have a little evaporation going on!

I did the big buy two years ago and have it in my shed on a old pallet. 
No issues as said just keep it dry.

A couple guys I cook with had bags of the Original KBB stored in an unheated shipping container and on the concrete pad in a garage and all the bags on the floor had a green/grey/white mold on the briqs. They both cater and have bigass Klose pits and used a full 20lb bag to start the pit before adding log splits. They didn't have a problem with it.

We cooked a comp and they brought the KBB and we were using WSM's and I wouldn't have it my pits. Luckily a Home Depot was nearby.

I store my fuel in an unheated shed and rotate that stuff. YMMV
