I lost 60 lbs of KBB yesterday.

A bit of back story. We bought just under two acres of land in '82 and built a small, (24' x 36'), house on the back with the intention of turning it into a shop some day. That happened about 1.5 years ago. I store my charcoal in the shop, (which I call El Shoppo in "honor" of El Chapo).

Yesterday I noticed the floor was wet, and the wall was wet where one of the water pipes comes out of the wall. So I turned the water off and the leak stopped, but the three 20 lb bags of KBB leaning against that wall were wet and very heavy. They made the trip to the county dump today as I was going there anyway...

I'm headed to Costco Tue to pick up a replacement for a lost hearing aide, so I guess I'll pick up some K Pro while I'm there...

wet charcoal dried out they can be. or not.

Yes it is possible, but it usually molds in my area before it dries.

Sorry to hear about your soggy charcoal. It's annoying to lose something like that, especially if you bought it at a good deal and now have to pay more to replace it. Water damage is such a pain.

That happened to me when my basement flooded with about 4" of water. I lost about 8 bags. The worst part was the bottom of the bags opened up as I was trying to put the wet parts in the garbage and the dry in a separate bag. What a mess. Over all I was able to salvage about a little less than 1/2 the charcoal. The rest was trash. Totally sucks. I feel your pain.
