Erich: You are the guru, so I will not contest what you say. But upon really thinking about it some more, I probably was low and what you say seems much nearer to what I observed. I never weighed anything so I was guessing.

I think it seemed lower because it crumbles so easily and probably I was not picking up the entire pieces of the stock I had started with.

But if he is going to be moving charcoal any distance from where he makes it, he is going to lose a fair amount if it crumbles as easily as mine did. This would be especially true if he makes his charcoal in earthen pits and smothers it with dirt.

Unfortunately, I don't own a pick up truck. I need one so seldom, I can not justify owning one.
