Title: Has anybody ever actually
Post by: Pappymn on June 04, 2016, 05:04:56 PM
Opened a bag of charcoal by pulling on the string? Every time I try I fail and run to get the scissors.

I mean we put a man on the moon, and this is the best we can do?

Totally agree, just put a paper tab on the string your suppose to pull. Aggravation at its best ;)

Two different color threads would give you at least a 50/50 chance of getting it right. @kingsford

You guys are funny!
There's a loop on one end.  You pull it, and the string just zips right out...

just sayin'...

Here's your answer to opening up a bag of Kingsford you've been listened to and it has been redesigned to get rid of the confusing string  :)

So let me get this straight.  ::) We need a video to show us what we don't need to know?  :o  Hmmm must be another "government mandated" life lesson. ::)

After watching a YouTube video on How To Open a Bag of Charcoal With The String last night I wanted to go out to the garage and try...but it was late. So this morning before coffee, I made my way to my charcoal. Found the string seam, went to the backside and saw a loop. Untied the loose loop and pulled the string from the backside and VOILA! The whole string pulled out!   8)
Someone should have shown me forty years ago! :D

Post by: Ericd3043 on June 05, 2016, 06:07:42 PM
Wait, what?  There is a string on the bag you are supposed to pull????

My dad always just cut the bag open and that is what I have always done.  Never realized that you were supposed to use it....

Ha...! Yesterday I went out to the shed to check a bag of lump I bought at Costco a couple of weeks ago to see what exact wood it is made from. It doesn't say but I remembered about this post and having had success in the past I tried it again with pulling the string to open. Pulling from the left it opened easily. I also open my dog food ad chicken feed the same way. Sometimes it IS a little more tricky than others but for the most part it usually works.
