Picked three of these from the Home Depot back in September was able to get them on clearance for $8.00 a piece.

They have two one is clear plastic the other one is black, read on another site that the clear ones don't stand well to UV light so they don't do well outside, so I've been told, Kingsford states that you should put the bag in and cut off the top. I've found that if I pour it in it holds about a 20 pound bag and a half so about 30 pounds.

Here is one of them Tom. What you are clicking on in Photobucket is the Direct link which takes you back to Photobucket.

What you need is the box that is marked IMG (on the right side and very bottom of the share this photo).  I went to Photobucket
on my wife's Ipad and there is 2 ways to do it. First either tap the photo or click the 3 lines. This will bring up the share, edit, copy or flag if you use the 3 lines.
If you click the photo it will bring you directly to the share photo area, again you want the bottom IMG. 

Hope this helps,  if you need anymore help PM me and I will give you my phone number.

I use this dog food container from SAMs.

It holds three bags of Kingsford, is completely watertight, and, for the last 2 years, has lasted on my deck, out in the sun.

Copy the IMG link and then paste it into your link like you did the direct link.  To send a PM click on the persons photo that you want to send a message. It will give you
an option to send a PM.

I've been using one of those Kingsford storage containers for years. 

It's been sitting on my covered porch for at least 6 years with no ill effects from UV light.  Granted it's not in 100% sun, but it's still holding up well.  I've not had any issues with the charcoal getting damp even when it's been in there for a couple of months (yeah, I know.... I should be ashamed that I let the charcoal smokers sit that long - but I do have the electric element I use for sausage and snack sticks, so it's not that I'm not using it).  I do not bother with putting the bag in the container,  I just dump in what's left after filling the WSM fire ring.  The lid on mine snaps shut and is very secure.   

Great snag for that price.
